Citric acid is an important organic acid, colorless crystal, often contains a molecule of crystalline water, odorless, has a strong sour taste, easy to dissolve in water. Its calcium salts are more soluble in cold water than hot water, and this property is often used to identify and isolate citric acid. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling appropriate temperature during crystallization. It has many uses in industry, food industry, makeup industry and so on.

Citric acid has many uses in food production. It is a flavor enhancer, preservative, and helps facilitate the ripening process. About 50 percent of the world's citric acid production is used as a flavor booster in beverages, and because citric acid is made in a powder form, it's added to dry foods such as seasoning salts, flavoring powders, and crunchy snacks when a sour flavor is desired.
The acidic pH of citric acid makes it useful as a food preservative and preserves the color of the food since it significantly slows the oxidation. Since many bacteria are unable to grow in an acidic environment, citric acid is often added to jams, jellies, candy, canned foods, and even meat products as a form of preservation. Citric acid is also used to facilitate the ripening process when making cheese, particularly mozzarella. It is employed to adjust the pH of solutions when brewing both beer and wine, and works to keep fats from separating in homemade ice cream; it also prevents sugar from crystallizing in caramels. A small pinch of citric acid can also enhance the leavening power of baking soda, making it an ideal secret ingredient for cakes and biscuits. Those on a low-sodium diet may sub in citric acid for salt when seasoning.Shijiazhuang Xinlongwei Chemical Co., Ltd. focuses on liquid hazardous chemicals and is one of the largest producers and exporters of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, caustic soda liquids and lead nitrate in northern China.The company adheres to the principle of "quality first, reputation first".On the basis of mutual benefit, we have established business relations with customers in more than 50 countries and regions.We also seek or research new products for customers.With high quality products and perfect production quality management system, the company passed SGS and ISO 9001 certification in July 2014.
