| Function |
Food additive: Citric acid, due to its acidity and sourness, is mainly used as a seasoning and preservative in food and beverages, helping to maintain the freshness of food and extend its shelf life. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects: Citric acid has antioxidant properties and can help resist oxidative stress (or free radical damage) Alkalinization effect: Although citric acid has a sour taste, it is considered an alkalizing substance that can help neutralize the effects of consuming large amounts of acidic foods such as meat and processed grains. Improving endothelial function: Some studies have shown that citric acid can help improve the function of the endothelial layer, a thin membrane that covers the interior of the heart and blood vessels, aiding in relaxation and contraction of blood vessels, blood coagulation, immune function, and platelet aggregation Skin Health: Citric acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that can be added to some skincare products to regulate the pH of the skin, promote skin peeling and regeneration. It is considered an antioxidant that can help protect the skin from photoaging, environmental damage, and oxidative stress. Cleaning and Disinfection: Citric acid is an effective disinfectant that can combat various bacteria and viruses. It can be used as a general disinfectant and cleaner to remove scale, hard water stains, lime, and rust. Environmental cleanup: Citric acid can safely remove toxins from contaminated soil and even clean up nuclear waste. |
| Application |
Food and beverage industry: used as a seasoning, preservative, and pH regulator for carbonated beverages, juices, candies, jams, canned foods, etc. Medicine and dietary supplements: used to stabilize and preserve drug ingredients, enhance or mask the taste of drugs, and in mineral supplements (such as calcium citrate and magnesium citrate) to improve absorption rate. Cosmetics and personal care products: As a pH regulator and skin conditioner, it is used in shampoo, facial cleanser, lotion and other products to help exfoliate and renew the skin. Cleaning and disinfection products: The cleaning ability of citric acid makes it a cleaning agent for removing scale, hard water stains, rust, etc. It is also used to disinfect surfaces and equipment. Industrial applications: As chelating agents, buffering agents, and acid-base indicators, it has a wide range of applications in chemical analysis and laboratory research. Agriculture: As a plant growth regulator and fertilizer additive, it promotes plant growth and improves nutrient absorption efficiency. |
