Citric acid - what to consider


What is citric acid?

Citric acid is an organic compound, also called a carboxylic acid, which belongs to both the tricarboxylic and fruit acids. It dissolves well in water and alcohol. 

 

Where is citric acid found?

Due to its acidic taste, citric acid is contained in many food products such as fruit juice drinks, jams and confectionery. It is also an ingredient in baked goods and canned fruits and vegetables.

The "effervescent" effect in sherbet is caused by citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate, with the release of carbon dioxide, which is why it is also an important ingredient in these.
