Overview

Product Overview

Citric Acid is a naturally-occurring organic acid widely used as an acidulant, preservative aid, and flavor enhancer in food and beverage production. Beyond food applications, its mild acidity and chelating (metal-binding) properties make it useful in cleaning formulations, descaling applications, and as a passivation agent for stainless steel surfaces in industrial settings. It is also used in water treatment as a chelating agent to control scale-forming minerals. Velora Unichem sources Citric Acid to match buyer grade and packaging requirements.
