Food Grade E330
Citric Acid is the world's most widely used acidulant. It is naturally derived via fermentation (usually from corn or molasses). Ruvon supplies both Monohydrate (Standard) and Anhydrous (Water-Free) forms, certified for Food (E330), Pharma, and Technical applications.
Citric acid is a weak organic acid with a strong sour taste. It acts as a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, it is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.
