Description

Citric acid is an organic compound that is a weak organic acid. It is a colorless, odorless solid with a sour taste. Citric acid participates in many biochemical reactions, including the citric acid cycle and fatty acid metabolism. Citric acid can be found in many citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and grapefruits. Citric acid also has antioxidant properties and functions as an anti-inflammatory agent. Citric acid is used for the production of citrates and citrate salts, which are added to food preservatives or acidic foods such as lemonade or vinegar. Citric acid can be used to measure water vapor concentration by using fluorescence probes that react with hydrated electrons in water molecules. It also has electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) applications in biomedical research and biotechnology as an enzyme inhibitor or activator.
