Citric acid is a naturally occurring weak organic acid commonly found in citrus fruits, particularly lemons and limes. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and acidulant. Additionally, citric acid plays a significant role in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products due to its antioxidant and pH-regulating properties. Industrial production typically involves microbial fermentation using Aspergillus niger, making it a cost-effective and scalable process.
Setting up a citric acid production plant involves securing raw materials like molasses or glucose, selecting efficient microbial strains, and setting up fermentation, recovery, and purification systems. A compact facility can be developed with an initial investment focused on fermentation technology, quality control, and wastewater treatment, aligning with regulatory and environmental standards.
