Obtained from citrus fruits, or relating to the sour acid found in them.
Citric is most familiar from citric acid, the sharp-tasting compound that gives lemons, limes and oranges their sourness. Manufacturers add it to soft drinks, sweets and tinned foods to give tartness and to help preserve them, and cleaning products use it to dissolve limescale. The word comes from the Latin citrus. Biochemists also speak of the citric acid cycle, the series of reactions that cells use to release energy from food.
