The food additives are mainly used in carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, lactic acid drinks and other cool beverages and pickled products. The demand is changed by seasonal climate change. Citric acid is about 2/3 of the total consumption of acid. Citric acid is added in the canned fruit can maintain or improve the collection of fruit flavor, some low acidity fruit jar hidden acidity (pH) reduction, reduce the heat resistance and inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, to prevent low acidity canned fruit often bacterial bilge tank and destruction. Adding citric acid to the confectionery is easy to coordinate with fruit flavor. The use of citric acid in the gelatinous food can effectively reduce the negative charge of the pectin, thus binding the hydrogen-bond between the pectin molecules and the gel. When processing canned vegetable, some vegetables are alkalescent reaction, use citric acid as pH adjustment agent, not only can have seasoning effect, still can maintain its quality. Citric acid has the function of chelating and adjusting the pH, which can increase the performance of antioxidant, inhibit the enzyme activity and prolong the shelf life of food.
