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.

Also known as: 2-Hydroxybutanedioic Acid, Apple Acid, DL-Malic Acid, E296, Hydroxysuccinic Acid, L-Malic Acid
Malic acid is a dicarboxylic alpha-hydroxy acid (2-hydroxybutanedioic acid, formula C4H6O5) named after the Latin "malum" for apple, since it was first isolated from apple juice by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1785. It exists as two enantiomers: L-malic acid (natural, found in apples, grapes, cherries, rhubarb, and other fruits, and a Krebs-cycle intermediate) and D-malic acid; commercial production yields the racemic DL-malic acid via catalytic hydration of maleic anhydride. It contributes a sharp, persistent tartness — more lingering than citric acid — and is widely used as an acidulant, pH adjuster, and flavor enhancer in sour candies (Sour Patch Kids, Warheads), fruit beverages, low-calorie drinks, jellies, jams, frozen fruits, and wine. In dental and personal-care products it appears as a pH adjuster and as an alpha-hydroxy exfoliant at higher concentrations. The FDA affirms DL-malic acid as GRAS under 21 CFR 184.1069 with specific use levels by food category, and the EU permits it as additive E296 at quantum satis under Reg. 1333/2008 — with the exception that only DL-malic acid is restricted from infant and follow-on formula. Both enantiomers are well tolerated at typical food intakes; very acidic candies have been linked to dental enamel erosion.
