Uses-Citric acid and its citrate compounds are widely used in hundreds of applications. Global production of citric acid in 2005 was 1.6 million tons, with China producing approximately40% of the world supply. In the United States, approximately 65% of citric acid use is in the food and beverage industry. Citric acid is used as an acidulant to impart tartness, to control, as a preservative and antioxidant, as a metal chelator, and to stabilize color and taste. Citrate salts can be used as mineral and metal dietary supplement; for example, calcium citrate is used as a calcium supplement. The second greatest use of citric acid is in detergents and cleaning products. Sodium citrate is used as a builder. Citric acid’s ability to chelate metals makes it useful as a water-softening agent, which can also assist in cleaning .
