Citric acid is commonly linked to citrus fruits, but it occurs naturally in a variety of fruits. Some fruits contain up to eight percent citric acid, with sour fruits predominantly containing the highest percentages. Citric acid has a tangy and bitter flavor. It is a popular food additive, used to form jams and jellies, stabilize dairy products, preserve meat and provide antioxidant properties to oils and fats. Citric acid is not the same thing as ascorbic acid: It does not prevent fruits and vegetables from turning brown and contains no vitamin C.
