Category: Acidulants (naturally derived)
Also known as: 2-Hydroxypropane-1,2,3-Tricarboxylic Acid, 2-Hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic Acid, Anhydrous Citric Acid, CA, Citric Acid Monohydrate, E330
Citric acid is a tricarboxylic alpha-hydroxy acid (2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, formula C6H8O7) that occurs naturally at high concentrations in citrus fruits — lemons and limes are about 5–7% citric acid by weight — and is a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle of cellular respiration. Despite its citrus origin, virtually all commercial citric acid (over 2 million tonnes globally per year) is produced by submerged fermentation of glucose or sucrose using the mold Aspergillus niger, then crystallized as the anhydrous form or as the monohydrate. In foods it functions as an acidulant (giving the sour kick to sodas, candies, gummies, jams, sherbet, and powdered drink mixes), pH adjuster, chelating agent (sequesters trace metals to prevent fat oxidation and color loss), antioxidant synergist, emulsifier-stabilizer, and leavening acid (in combination with sodium bicarbonate). In personal-care products it is the standard pH adjuster for shampoos, cleansers, and skincare. The FDA affirms citric acid as GRAS under 21 CFR 184.1033 with no use-level limit, and the EU permits it as additive E330 at quantum satis under Reg. 1333/2008. Although fermentation occasionally uses corn, wheat, or beet substrates, the final product is generally considered allergen-free.

Category: Humectants (naturally derived)
Also known as: D-Glucose, Dextrose
A natural simple sugar that acts as a humectant and energy source for skin cells. In cosmetic formulations, it helps maintain skin hydration and is part of the skin's natural moisturizing complex.
Category: Stabilizers (synthetic)
Also known as: E445, Ester Gum, GEWR, Glycerol Ester of Wood Rosin
An ester of glycerol and rosin (wood resin) used as a weighting agent for citrus oils in beverages. It keeps flavoring oils suspended evenly in water-based drinks and prevents them from rising to the surface.

Category: Minerals (naturally derived)
Sodium chloride used as a basic seasoning and preservative in virtually all food products.
Category: Acidity Regulator (synthetic)
Also known as: Disodium Citrate, E331, Monosodium Citrate, Sodium Citrate Dihydrate, Trisodium Citrate
Sodium Citrate (most commonly Trisodium Citrate; CAS 68-04-2) is the sodium salt of citric acid, an organic acid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. It is synthetically produced industrially by neutralizing citric acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate. Sodium Citrate functions as a versatile food additive — primarily as an acidity regulator and pH buffer, but also as an emulsifying salt (especially in processed cheese), preservative, flavoring agent, and sequestrant that binds metal ions. It appears widely in soft drinks and energy drinks (gives the characteristic tart taste), processed cheese slices, ice cream, gelatin desserts, jams, jellies, sports drinks, electrolyte drinks, anticoagulant blood collection tubes, and pharmaceutical preparations. As an emulsifying salt in processed cheese, it allows fat and water to combine smoothly, producing the characteristic melting behavior of American-style processed cheese slices. The FDA recognizes Sodium Citrate as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) under 21 CFR 184.1751 with multiple permitted technical effects including pH control, sequestrant, emulsifier, and flavor enhancer. In the EU, it is authorized as food additive E331 (E331(i) monosodium, E331(ii) disodium, E331(iii) trisodium) under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 with no ADI restriction. EFSA has confirmed safety at current use levels. Permitted globally with no significant restrictions. CAS 68-04-2 (trisodium citrate dihydrate).
