Application
Because it is one of the stronger edible acids, the dominant use of citric acid is as a flavoring and preservative
in food and beverages, especially soft drinks and candies.
Citric acid can be added to ice cream as an emulsifying agent to keep fats from separating, to caramel to
prevent sucrose crystallization, or in recipes in place of fresh lemon juice
