Product Feature And Application of the Citric Acid
A. Citric acid is a useful ingredient in beverages, jams, jellies, candies and frozen foods. Citric acid preserves food and enhances flavour.
B. Citric acid’s ability to chelate metals makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. Chelating the metals in hard water lets these cleaners produce foam and work more efficiently without the need for water softening.
