• Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits.

• It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks.

• In biochemistry, it is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and therefore occurs in the metabolism of almost all living things.

• It also serves as an environmentally benign cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant.

• Citric acid exists in a variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is most concentrated in lemons and limes, where it can comprise as much as 8 percent of the dry weight of the fruit.
