What foods contain organic acids?

Many do, but well known ones are citrus fruits, which all contain citric acid. Also vinegar contains acetic acid. Acids are classified into two groups: Organic and Inorganic. Organic acids have chemical formulas they contain carbon (C) and [for the most part] oxygen (O). A few foods with organic acids are: Apples --- Malic acid (C4H6O5) Oranges --- Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) and Folic acid (C19H19N7O6) Grapes --- Tartaric acid (C4H6O5) Vinegar --- Acetic acid (C2H4O2) Soured Milk --- Lactic acid (C3H6O3) Other acids that DO NOT contain carbon. (*Please note, an acid can contain oxygen and still be considered inorganic. As long as it does not contain carbon, it is classified as inorganic.) Some things with inorganic acids: Stomach acid --- Gastric acid Consists mainly of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), but also contains some Potassium chloride (KCl) and Sodium chloride (NaCl) Soft Drinks --- Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
