Citric Acid Mono Anhydrous

Creating new benchmarks in the industry as a reliable organization, our organization engaged in supplying and trading Citric Acid in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Citric acid exists in greater than trace amounts in a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. Lemons and limes have particularly high concentrations of the acid; it can constitute as much as 8% of the dry weight of these fruits (about 47 g/L in the juices[4]). The concentrations of citric acid in citrus fruits range from 0.005 mol/L for oranges and grapefruits to 0.30 mol/L in lemons and limes.
