Citric acid is a versatile acidulant and flavor enhancer commonly used in the food industry. It has a sour taste and is found naturally in citrus fruits, particularly lemons and limes. Citric acid has a wide range of applications in food and beverages. Here are some common uses of citric acid in food:

1. Acidulant: Citric acid is used as an acidulant to add tartness and acidity to foods and beverages. It can help balance flavors and enhance the taste of various products.

2. Beverages: It is a common ingredient in soft drinks, fruit juices, and other beverages to provide a refreshing, tangy flavor. It also acts as a preservative in some drinks to help extend their shelf life.

3. Jellies and Jams: Citric acid is added to fruit preserves to help lower the pH and create a favorable environment for gelling agents like pectin. This aids in the formation of a gel texture.

4. Canned and Frozen Fruits and Vegetables: It is used to preserve the color, flavor, and texture of canned and frozen fruits and vegetables by preventing enzymatic browning.

5. Candies and Confections: Citric acid is used in sour candies to provide the characteristic sour taste. It is also used in some sugar syrups for confectionery products.

6. Baking Powder: In combination with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), citric acid is an essential component of some baking powders, where it reacts with the baking soda to create carbon dioxide gas, leading to leavening in baked goods.

7. Desserts: Citric acid can be used in desserts to balance sweetness and add a hint of acidity, as seen in cheesecakes, tarts, and fruit-based desserts.

8. Cider and Wine: In the production of alcoholic beverages like cider and wine, citric acid can be added to adjust the acidity of the final product.

9. Canned Seafood: It is used in canned seafood, such as canned tuna, to help preserve the product and maintain its quality.

10. Flavor Enhancer: Citric acid can enhance the overall flavor profile of a product by providing a bright, citrusy note that complements other flavors.

11. Meat and Poultry Processing: Citric acid is sometimes used as a meat tenderizer, as it can break down some proteins, making the meat more tender.

12. Dairy Products: It can be added to some dairy products like cheese to adjust pH and improve texture and shelf life.
