Citric Acid Powder – 2 kg

One of the most common citric acid use is for preserving foods. It is also added to provide a sour and acidic taste to food and drinks. It can easily mix with water thereby, making it acidic. Citric acid has a number of uses and is most commonly used as a food additive and a flavoring agent.

• Citric acid uses include beauty treatments, DIY personal care products, and homemade cleaners.
• Cleaning Uses. Because citric acid kills bacteria, mold, and mildew, it’s great for general disinfecting and cleaning. … Also, it serves as a preservative in many cleaning solutions.  For regular cleaning, spray vinegar or a strong citric acid solution (2 ½ teaspoon of citric acid and 1 cup of water), and leave it for 15 minutes to 1 hour (the longer, the better). Scrub with a brush, and flush.
• It’s widely used as an alternative to bleach, when you want to whiten and disinfect. Citric acid is derived from fruits — often lemons. It is whitening, de-greasing, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
• Often used when making a bath bomb. When the bath bomb comes in contact with water, the baking soda and citric acid react to make carbon dioxide bubbles. This is an acid–base reaction, where baking soda (also called sodium bicarbonate) is a weak base and citric acid is a weak acid.

Citric acid is produced by a submerged fermentation process utilizing glucose from corn as the carbohydrate source for a selected strain of Aspergillus niger. It is a natural preservative used to alter the taste of food stuffs. This is a non irradiated product.
