The food additives segment is one of the leading applications for citric acid. It is one of the most utilized food acidulants, especially in carbonated soft drinks (CSDs). Also, the growing consumption of canned and processed meat in the developed markets of the region has created a strong demand for citric acids. Moreover, the uses of citric acid in processed frozen foods, and as an additive in some fats and oils, enhance the action of antioxidants, which effectively reduces the deterioration rate of these products. Thus, it creates the demand for citric acid in many food and beverage applications across the region.
