It occurs naturally, and is also synthetically added to food and other products. Due to its long shelf life and affordability, Citric Acid is a staple for many industries. Citric Acid will last up to three years once it is opened, and up to five years unopened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCitric Acid is popular due to its variety of uses, including presentation, flavoring, and emulsifying. It is one of the most common food additives on the market, as adding it to canned, jarred, and even frozen foods can help prevent botulism and other bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen sold commercially, such as in grocery stores, it is sold as a dry, white powder that bears resemblance to table salt. Some even refer to Citric Acid as “sour salt.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCitric Acid is vegan, dairy free, and gluten free, and can even be used to substitute for salt in certain recipes, for those watching their sodium intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Citric Acid Made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Citric Acid can be obtained from citrus fruits, over 90% of the commercially produced Citric Acid comes from a metabolized sugar that results from Aspergillus niger, or black mold. It was discovered in the early 1900s by American chemist James Currie. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the idea of a food product coming from black mold can seem highly unappetizing, the process of obtaining the Citric Acid renders the mold completely separate from the final product. The mold is fed sugar, often through either corn starch or molasses, and the mold is filtered out. Once the mold is filtered out, calcium hydroxide is added, which results in calcium citrate salt. Citric Acid is obtained by treating the calcium citrate salt with sulfuric acid. The demand for Citric Acid globally is too high for it to only come from citrus fruits, and using this process, scientists are able to produce an almost unlimited supply of Citric Acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Uses of Citric Acid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitric Acid has many uses, some of them include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Drinks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCitric Acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits, like oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, tangerines and pomelos.
