Citric acid monohydrate is a form of citric acid that contains one molecule of water per molecule of citric acid. Citric acid itself is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent, acidulant, preservative, and pH regulator in various food, beverage, and industrial products.
