Citric acid is one of the most widespread acids in the plant kingdom and occurs as a metabolic product in all organisms. Lemon juice, for example, contains 5-7% citric acid. It is also found in apples, pears, sour cherries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, conifers, mushrooms, tobacco leaves, wine and even milk. Citric acid is produced industrially by fermenting sugary raw materials such as molasses and maize. Aspergillus niger strains are used for fermentation. Citric acid not only has a lime-solvent effect due to its acid effect, but also due to the formation of a calcium complex. It is often used in detergents to avoid the unpleasant smell of vinegar cleaners. However, the complexes are not heat-resistant and decompose when heated to calcium citrate which is relatively difficult to dissolve. Citric acid can be used, for example, to decalcify kettles, immersion heaters, taps, shower heads, dishwashers or washing machines.
As an intermediate product of the energy metabolism (citric acid cycle), citric acid is a component of every living cell. The human metabolism converts one kilogram of it daily. In addition to its function as the most commonly used acidifier, citric acid is used in the food industry for a number weiterof technological applications. Because of its ability to form complexes with heavy metals, it receives fats, colours, flavours and vitamin content in many foods as an antioxidant. When sterilizing cream and milk and melting cheese, it prevents the protein from coagulating. Citric acid supports the reddening of meat and also improves the baking properties of doughs and flours. Citric acid is also used as a technical adjuvant in the production of edible fats and the treatment of fresh fish.
Manufacture:
Citric acid is produced biotechnologically with the aid of microorganisms, in particular the mould fungus Aspergillus niger. Glucose or molasses serve as the nutrient medium.
