C₆H₈O₇ – сitric acid – is a weak organic acid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. It can act as a preservative, and is also used to add a sour (acidic) taste to foods and soft drinks. It also serves as an environmentally-friendly cleaning agent. Aside from citrus fruits, citric acid can be found in many vegetables, berries, and fruits, such as currants, gooseberries, tomatoes, peaches, apricots, cranberries, and more. It is an important intermediate in several biochemical processes, and therefore is present in virtually all living things.
