So, what is a acide citrique?

Citric acid, also known as a acide citrique, is a natural organic acid found in citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It is used as a food additive to enhance flavor and preserve freshness in various food products, including beverages, jams, jellies, and candies. It is also commonly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to its antioxidant properties. A versatile ingredient, citric acid can act as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and chelating agent, making it a valuable addition to many different applications. Its sour taste can also be used to balance sweet flavors in recipes.
