Over view
 Citric acid is a usually occuring acid found primarily in
Several Varieties of fruits and vegetables with citrus
fruits such as lemons and limes containing the highest
amounts of citric acid.
 This Organic acid has many uses, including as a food
additive /Preservative, ingredient in Cosmetic products
and as a powerful cleaving agent.
Introduction:
Citric acid (2-hydroxy-1,2,3- propane tri carboxylic acid) is the
most important commercial product, which is found in almost all plant &
animal tissues.
Citric acid is the most important organic acid produced in tonnage
and is extensively used in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits(lemon).
It is good ,natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic
taste to food and soft drinks.
More than million tonnes are produced every year by
fermentation.
Citric Acid Production
HISTORY:
The discovery of citric acid has been credited to the 8th
century Muslim alchemist Jabir Ibn Hayyan (Geber).
Citric acid was first isolated in 1784 by the Swedish chemist carl
Wilhelm Scheele, who crystallize it from lemon juice.
Industrial scale citric acid production began in 1890 based on
the Italian citrus fruit industry.
In 1893, C. Wehmer discovered penicillin mold could produce
citric acid from sugar. However, microbial production of citric acid did
not become industrially important until world war I disrupted Italian
citrus exports.
Structure of citric acid
Micro-organisms used for citric acid production:
Large number of micro-organisms including bacteria,
fungi and yeasts have been employed to produce citric acid.
The main advantages of using this micro-organisms are:
a) Its easy of handling
b) Its ability to ferment a variety of cheap raw
materials
c) High yields
 Yeasts:
Saccahromicopsis lipolytica
Candida tropicalis
C. oleophila
C. guilliermondii
C. parapsilosis
C. citroformans
Hansenula anamosa
Micro organisms:
Fungi:
Aspergillus nagger
A. aculeatus
A. awamori
A. carbonarius
A. wentii
A. foetidus
Penicillium janthinelum
Bacteria:
Bacillus licheniformis
Arthrobacter paraffinens
Corynebacterium species
Citric acid production:
 Fermentation is the most economical and widely
used ay for synthesis citric acid production.
 The industrial citric acid production can be
carried in three different ways:
 surface fermentation
 submerged fermentation
 solid state fermentation
Surface Fermentation:
 Surface fermentation using Aspergillus niger may be
done on rice bran as is the case in Japan, or in liquid
solution in flat aluminium or stainless steel pans.
 Special strains of Aspergillus niger which can produce
citric acid despite the high content of trace metals in
rice bran are used.
SUBMERGED FERMENTATION:
 In this case , the strains are inoculated of about 15cm
depth in fermentation tank.
 The culture is enhanced by giving aeration using air
bubbles.
 And its allowed to grow for about 5 to 14 days at 27 to 33
degree Celsius.
 The citric acid produced in the fermentation tank and it is
purified.
Solid state fermentation:
 It is simplest method for citric acid production.
 Solid state fermentation is also known as koji
process, was first developed in Japan.
 Citric acid production reached a
maximum(88g/kg dry matter)when fermentation
as carried out with cassava having initial moisture
of 62% at 26degree Celsius for 120 hours.
Separation:
 The biomass is separated by filtration.
 The liquid is transferred to recovery process
 Separation of citric acid from the liquid
precipitation.
 Calcium hydroxide is added to obtain calcium
citrate.
Tetra
hydrate
Wash the
precipitate
Dissolve it with
dilute sulfuric acid,
yield citric acid and
calcium sulfate

Bleach and
crystallization
Anhydrous or
mono hydrate

Separation process:
PURIFICATION:
 Purification is a simple form of getting a
pure citric acid followed by two simple
techniques.
 Precipitation
 Filtration

Factors affecting citric acid production:
 Nitrogen source
 pH
 Aeration
 Trace elements
 Temperature
Industrial production of citric acid:
99% of world production microbial processes
surface or submerged culture.
70% of total production of 1.5 million tons per year is
used in food and beverage industry as on acidifier or antioxidant to
preserve or enhance the flavors and aromas of fruit juices, ice
cream and marmalades.
20% used pharmaceutical industry as anti oxidant
to preserve vitamins, effervescent, pH corrector, blood
preservative, or in the form of iron citrate.
Tablets, ointments and cosmetic
preparations
 Chemical industry remaining 10% softening and
treatment of textile.
 Also used in the detergent industry as a
Phosphate substitute, because of less entropic
effect hardening of cement
Applications/uses of citric acid:
Food & drink:
Preservative and flavoring agent
Emulsifying agent in ice-cream.
Household cleaner:
Kitchen
Bathroom sprays.
Cosmetics:
Shampoos
Body wash
WASH CLEANERS:
Nail polish
Hand soap and other cosmetic
products
To cure kidney disorders:
Sodium citrate, acetic acid is used
to prevent kidney stones.
Side effects:
Taking excess of citric acetate in combination
with sodium citrate may lead to kidney failure.
Taking citric acid with empty stomach may lead to
stomach or intestinal side-effects.
It may also lead to muscle twisting or cramps.
It can also cause weight gain, swelling, fast heart rate, slow or
rapid .
Largest producer in the world:
country Fruit crop
USA Grape fruit, pummelo
China Mandarin
Brazil Sweet orange
India Acid lime
Italy Lemon
