Citric acid is a translucent and odourless substance that forms colourless crystals. It has a sour taste and is denser than water. Chemically, citric acid is classified as a tricarboxylic acid, specifically propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid with a hydroxy group attached to position 2. Citric acid serves as a crucial component in the metabolic processes of all aerobic organisms. Citric acid has various roles, such as being used as a food acidity regulator, a chelating agent, an antimicrobial agent, and a fundamental metabolite. In its ionized form, it acts as the conjugate acid of a citrate(1-) ion and a citrate anion.
