Citric Acid, CA for short, also known as Citric Acid, is an important organic Acid, the appearance is colorless crystal, odorless, has a strong sour taste, easily soluble in water. According to its water content, it is divided into monohydrate citric acid and anhydrous citric acid.
Calcium salt of citric acid is easier to dissolve in cold water than in hot water, which is often used to identify and separate citric acid. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization, which has many applications in industry, food industry, cosmetic industry, etc.
