Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇), is a commodity chemical which occurs naturally in citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. To produce citric acid synthetically, cultures of Aspergillus niger fungus are fed on sucrose or glucose-containing medium. As it is rich in antioxidants, it aids in protecting against diseases and acts as an alkalizing agent for decreasing acidity in the human body. Owing to these benefits, citric acid is used as an acidulant in the food and beverage industry. It is also utilized in the production of soaps and detergents, pharmaceuticals, shampoos and conditioners, cosmetics, lubricants, and animal feed.

North America represents one of the largest markets for citric acid in the world. Citric acid and its derivatives are primarily employed in the food and beverage industry for controlling the growth of microorganisms, providing sourness and tartness, and enhancing flavors. Apart from this, the demand for citric acid in the detergents and cleaning agents has increased owing to the prohibition of phosphate in their manufacturing by governing authorities in different countries of North America. Further, usage of citric acid in the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing digestive medicines is also expected to spur the demand in the upcoming years.
