It is commonly used to add an acidic (sour) taste, enhance flavor and adjust PH to foods and soft drinks.
Due to its acidic pH, it is used for food preservation as many bacteria cannot grow in an acidic environment.
When present at low concentrations, it can prevent or slow down the oxidation process in foods.
It can improve the quality and stability of foods with the ability to form chelate complexes with polyvalent metal ions.
Its derivatives, calcium citrate and ferric citrate can be used as the supplement of calcium and iron to foods.
