Flavour: Citric acid provides flavour to aliments, sweets and to soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Food Production: It strengthens the gelatin in jams and slows down the oxidation process in fruits and fruit products, by combining itself with the naturally present metals and preventing their discolouration. Citric acid is often used for creating the proper environment for the enzyme activity in the process of cheese making. It can also be used for making ice cream because it helps the fat cells in dairy separate. OUR CITRIC ACID IS GMO-FREE. Pest Control: Citric acid is known to have the ability to destroy bacteria, mould, viruses and rust, and therefore was used in the production of pesticides, fungicides and disinfectants solutions. Alcohol Production: Sometimes, citric acid is added to wine, if the grapes used have low acidity to improve the taste. When manufacturing beer, citric acid reduces the sugar loss from the barley as it germinates. Therefore, more of the sugar turns to alcohol, and beer production is optimized. Medicine: Citric acid is used in the manufacture of medicinal products and in bio-technology industries. It is combined with sodium bicarbonate for medicines such as Alka-Seltzer.
