Citric acid tripotassium hydrate is a natural preservative and food tartness enhancer. It induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and S phase in HaCaT cells. This compound can also cause oxidative damage to the liver by decreasing antioxidative enzyme activities. Additionally, it functions as an acidulant, emulsifier, sequestrant, and buffering agent across various industries.
