itric acid powder is a white, crystalline substance with a sour taste, derived from citrus fruits.

One of the primary uses of citric acid powder is as a food additive and flavouring agent. It is commonly found in a variety of food and beverage products, including soft drinks, candies, jams, and jellies. Citric acid provides a tart, acidic taste that enhances the flavour profile of these products. It is also used as a natural preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of certain foods by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and moulds.

The citric acid powder is a key ingredient in the production of carbonated beverages. When combined with sodium bicarbonate or other carbonates, it reacts to produce carbon dioxide gas, creating the effervescence and bubbles characteristic of carbonated drinks.

Another significant application of citric acid powder is in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries. It is used as an excipient in the formulation of medicines and oral care products, such as effervescent tablets, syrups, and mouthwashes. Citric acid helps improve the taste, stability, and solubility of these formulations.
