About Citric Acid
Citric acid is an organic weak acid naturally derived from citrus fruits or produced synthetically via fermentation, serving as a key ingredient in food preservation, beverage acidulation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning formulations. Internationally traded citric acid exists in anhydrous and monohydrate forms, with granular and powder grades dominating commerce. China dominates global production and exports, supplying approximately 60% of world demand, while India and Thailand maintain significant secondary capacity. Buyers should verify crystalline purity levels and moisture content, as these parameters directly impact downstream applications; citric acid hygroscopicity requires proper storage in moisture-controlled environments to prevent degradation and caking during transit and warehousing.
