E330 Citric Acid anhydrous is a colorless, water-soluble solid acid found in lemon juice and in citrus and berry fruits in general. It is also found in asparagus, mushrooms, and milk, as well as in the bone system, blood, and urine. Chemically, citric acid is a monohydroxytricarboxylic acid and is an organic acid. As a carboxylic acid, it has three carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Its salts are citrates. Citric acid forms colorless crystals that are very soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. The anhydrate, unlike the monohydrate, does not contain bound water and is therefore more potent.
Because of its solubility in water, citric acid is used in food production to regulate pH. It is also used as a preservative because the acid inhibits bacterial growth. In jams, it helps retain color and aids in jellying. In addition, distributors and wholesalers sell E330 citric acid anhydrous to companies in the beverage industry and to manufacturers of confectionery products such as candies and gummy bears, sauces, condiments and dressings, frozen desserts, baked goods, canned goods and dairy products.
Cleaning products often contain citric acid because it is a good descaler. In technical applications, it can be used to clean surfaces or machinery. In the cosmetics industry, citric acid is also used in cosmetic products containing fruit acid, such as fruit acid peelings.
The demand for citric acid anhydrous is increasing due to its wide range of applications in the food and beverage industry, cleaning industry, pharmaceutical industry, and others.
