Citric Acid, Uses for Cleaning, Health, Beauty and Industry
The citric acid can be used for different purposes. From uses for beauty, health care to going through industrial processes. Because it has preservative properties and that facilitates the metabolization of minerals in the human body is essential for health. It has a bitter taste that combines with many foods, enhances flavor and is one of the most used substances in the food sector.
What is Citric Acid and Citric Acid Manufacturer?
It is a natural organic acid produced in citrus fruits and by the fungus Aspergillums Niger. The latter is used to achieve chain production and lower the costs of buying citric acid.
It is very common in the form of mold in fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits such as lemons, lettuce, Swiss chard and tomatoes. The most common way to obtain it naturally is through lemon juice
Its chemical formula is C 6 H 8 O 7 and its molecular weight 192.13.
Citric Acid Uses
Because today can be produced easily and economically by growing Aspergillums Niger has many industrial applications. For this purpose, it is used in packages different from those dedicated for human consumption.
Because it is possible to create it by means of fermentation of molasses, the price is low, so citric acid can be given uses:
• Reduce the pH.
• Cosmetics component.
• Antioxidant for the skin, stain and depigmenting.
• Prevent the formation of kidney stones and improve the functioning of the kidneys.
• Eliminate infections
• Reduce the feeling of gastric acidity, gas and burning. Added in the form of lemon juice to a large glass of water gets benefits for the stomach.
• Prevent constipation
• Preservative for packaged foods.
• Development of photographs replacing acetic acid.
• Elimination of lime.
• Polishing and rust removal in metals such as copper and alloys such as brass.
• Remove soap from surfaces.
• Acidulant
