Description:
Citric Acid, known in Russian as “Limonnaya Kislota” (Лимонная кислота), is a natural, weak organic acid commonly found in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes. It appears as a fine, white, crystalline powder with a sharp, refreshing, slightly sour taste.
It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a flavouring agent, preservative, and acidulant, helping to enhance taste and maintain freshness. In household use, citric acid serves as an effective natural cleaner and descaler due to its ability to dissolve limescale and mineral deposits. Additionally, it is utilised in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial applications for its chelating and buffering properties.
Uses: Food additive (E330), preservative, cleaning agent, pH regulator, and ingredient in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
