Physical properties
Although ingredient wise its useful to know what is in the product its also important know the chemical background and physical properties of the chemicals used as well.
Citric Acid
Citric acid is also known as a natural carboxylic acid. This weak organic acid is often used as an natural preservative/conservative and may even be used to add an acidic/sour taste to drinks and food.
The formula for Citric Acid is :C6H8O7
The melting point is also another important property to consider. The melting point of Citric Acid is 153 °C.
The boiling point of citric acid is 175 °C and can be soluable in water, having a density of 1.66 g/cm³.
