Citric acid is a bitter crystalline acid. It can be found in most sour fruits. Citric acid can reduce fatigue, and it can also make stress go away.

What is the chemical symbol for citrate?
Any salt of citric acid. Citrate is the first intermediate of the citric acid cycle and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It also plays an important role in fatty acid synthesis which takes place in the cytoplasm.
Do humans have a role in acid rain or the rate of it?
yes
Does thiamine play a role in citric acid cycle?
Thiamine (Vitamin B_1) is an important component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex--the enzyme complex which converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. This specific reaction is the "Link Reaction" which connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
What is the role of citric acid in fruit juice concentrate?
add taste,flavour,decrease microbial activity,decrease enzymatic activity,act as antioxidant
What retinoid that has the most important physiological role in the human body is?
retinol
What does tartaric do in wine making?
Tartaric acid plays important role in the wine chemistry, by lowering the pH of fermenting must, grape juice or wine to a level where many spoilage bacteria cannot live, and acting as a preservative in combination with SO2. When you taste a wine, the tartaric acid provides some of the tartness and also in some cases will provide freshness in the wine, although citric and malic acid also play a role.

What is the difference between citric acid and tartaric acid?
Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative/conservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, the conjugate base of citric acid, citrate, is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, and therefore occurs in the metabolism of virtually all living things.Citric acid is a commodity chemical, and more than a million tonnes are produced every year by fermentation. It is used mainly as an acidifier, as a flavoring, and as a chelating agent.Tartaric acid is a white crystalline diprotic organic acid. It occurs naturally in many plants, particularly grapes, bananas, and tamarinds; is commonly combined with baking soda to function as a leavening agent in recipes, and is one of the main acids found in wine. It is added to other foods to give a sour taste, and is used as an antioxidant. Salts of tartaric acid are known as tartrates. It is a dihydroxyl derivative of succinic acid.Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar, c. 800 by the alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan.[3] The modern process was developed in 1769 by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele.Tartaric acid played an important role in the discovery of chemical chirality. This property of tartaric acid was first observed in 1832 by Jean Baptiste Biot, who observed its ability to rotate polarized light. Louis Pasteur continued this research in 1847 by investigating the shapes of ammonium sodium tartrate crystals, which he found to be chiral. By manually sorting the differently shaped crystals under magnification, Pasteur was the first to produce a pure sample of levotartaric acid.
What role do humans play in the dispersal of?
humans play role of species by moving around and getting other organisms around to their species
