Citric acid (standard) is an analytical standard for research and analytical applications. It acts as a natural preservative and food tartness enhancer, also serving as an acidulant, emulsifier, sequestrant, and buffering agent. Research indicates its role in inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HaCaT cells and its potential to cause oxidative liver damage.
