How is citric acid produced?
Good question! citric acid is produced in a cycle called Krebs Cycle. As Pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion, carbon is removed,forming co2, and electrons are removed,
changing NAD+ to NADH. Co-enzyme A joins the 2-carbon molecule, forming acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA then adds the 2 carbon acetyl group to a 4-carbon compound, forming citric acid.
Before the Krebs cycle there is the glycolysis cycle. In this cycle the product is the pyruvic acid. So after that the Krebs cycle or the Citric acid cycle starts, which starts off with pyruvic acid. Then the election transport cycle. This might be confusing but if you see a diagram of these cycles, that will help you a lot!

Do strawberrys have citric acid?
No, strawberries do not naturally contain citric acid. They have malic acid and citric acid.
What is difference between citric acid mono and citric acid anhydrus?
Citric acid monohydrate contains one molecule of water while citric acid anhydrous does not. Citric acid monohydrate is less concentrated compared to citric acid anhydrous. The choice between the two may depend on the specific application due to differences in solubility and reactivity.
Is citric acid a liquid?
It is a solid. See the discussion page for further info. (It does not matter that it is dispersed, it still maintains its fundamental state of matter.) Citric acid (anhydrous) is a solid at temperatures below 153C (307F). Citric acid becomes liquid at 153C. At some temperature well above that, pure citric acid may enter vapor phase, but its likely the energetic state of atoms in the molecule at this temperature will cause it to come apart. The boiling point of a solution of citric acid in water depends on the concentration of citric acid in the water.
Is citric acid heavier than water?
No, citric acid is not heavier than water. The density of citric acid is lower than that of water, so citric acid will float on the surface of water.
What is tne chemical formula of citric acid?
The chemical formula of the citric acid is C6H8O7.
