Product Description

What is Anhydrous Citric Acid?

Anhydrous citric acid is a crystalline powder form of citric acid that contains minimal or no water content. Citric acid is a natural acid found in various fruits, particularly citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer, preservative, and acidulant.

Anhydrous citric acid is produced by removing the water molecules from citric acid, resulting in a dry, powdered form. This process increases the stability and shelf life of the citric acid and makes it easier to handle and store.

Anhydrous citric acid has a tart, acidic taste and is commonly used in the production of beverages, confectionery, and processed foods. It can be added to give a sour or tangy flavor, act as a pH adjuster, and contribute to the preservation of food products.
