Citric acid or lemon is The only edible acid that its chemical formula is in two forms, with water or monohydrate C6H8O7(H2O) and non-water or anhydrous C6H8O7.
And in today’s world into two major industrial methods, immersion or surface culture is, produced.
Citric acid raw materials depending on the type of technology can be: Raw sugar, molasses, corn, potatoes, wheat, Starch and glucose.
Determination of raw materials usually depends on cost and technology.
The raw materials of sugar, using micro-organisms, in long fermenters become citric acid,
Due to the Efficiency and high volume production, almost more than 09% of the world productions today, through immersion in high fermenters with different volumes are exploited.
(Product manufacturing of The Jovian citric acid factory is provided In large fermenters 065 cubic meters, that is unparalleled in the world, with immersion method?)
