In 1933 in Czechoslovakia, and in 1935 in our Leningrad, the production of citric acid from sugar by biochemical synthesis using yeast mushrooms was organized. Currently, citric acid is extracted from beet molasses.
The European Digital Codification of Food Additives has assigned citric acid the E330 index. Functionally, this substance is an acidity regulator and antioxidant, and it also enhances the effect of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid. Citric acid is one of the mildest compared to other food acids, has a pleasant sour taste and is very popular in the food and medical industry.
There is a lot of citric acid in fruits, vegetables and berries, especially citrus fruits, pomegranates, currants. It activates the secretion of gastric juice, through which appetite increases and food is better absorbed.
Recipes with citric acid
are represented by confectionery (sweets,
jams
,
jelly
,
ice cream
, mousses), drinks (alcoholic and soft drinks), in which it acts as an acidifier and flavor enhancer. It needs very little. For example, only half a percent of the candy is citric acid. Recipes for some canned foods also provide for its use, since E330 serves as a good preservative and replaces more harmful vinegar. In the oil and fat industry, citric acid protects products from rancid fats, margarine and animal oil.
In addition, this acid is included in cosmetics: lotions, balms, creams, shampoos, masks, hair fixers, etc. Here it is in demand as a pH balance regulator.
