We use citric acid as a processing aid in creating our Vitamin Mushroom Powder for Mushroom D2Z. The citric acid used in production is Citric Acid Anhydrous and is an approved processing material for organic production.
Citric acid is a naturally occurring fruit acid, produced commercially by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate substrate. Citric acid is one of the most widely used organic acid and pH-control agents in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other applications.
Citric acid anhydrous occurs as colorless crystals or in a white, crystalline powder with a dominant acidic taste. It’s soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %), and sparingly soluble in ether
Citric acid anhydrous is non-toxic and has low reactivity. It’s chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. Citric acid anhydrous is biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.
