Citric acid is a tricarboxylic acid with a hydroxyl group at position 2, and it is also known as propane-1, 2, 3-tricarboxylic acid. It's a crucial metabolite in all aerobic species through their metabolic pathways. It functions as a food acidity regulator, chelator, antibacterial agent, and basic metabolite. Due to its physical resemblance to table salt, citric acid marketed as a dry granular is sometimes referred to as "sour salt" in markets and grocery stores. On the basis of its purity, Lab Alley’s premium quality Citric Acid Granular is certified by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the FCC (Food Chemicals Codex). In addition, it is also certified as Kosher product based on its manufacturing process.
