Citric acid is “nature’s acidulant.” It’s the most widely used organic acid and is produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate source. Typically, citric acid is added to foods and beverages to adjust acidity (pH), provide sourness and enhance flavors. Plus, it has functional benefits, such as controlling microbial growth. ADM’s high-quality citric acid ingredient is driven by consumer demand for enhanced flavor and convenience in ready-to-drink beverages and processed foods. Not only does ADM employ methods that produce top-notch citric acid—the depth of our citric acid inventory mirrors our scale, for reliable and available solutions.

This product is offered as white translucent crystal or crystalline powder, is water soluble and has a 36-month shelf life. ADM citric acid complies to meet specifications established in monographs by United States Pharmacopeia and Food Chemicals Codex.
