Inbiochemistry, it is an intermediate in thecitric acid cycle, which occurs in themetabolismof allaerobic organisms. More than two million tons of citric acidare manufacturedevery year. It is used widely asacidifier,flavoring,preservative, andchelating agent. Acitrateis a derivative of citric acid; that is, thesalts,esters, and thepolyatomic anionfound in solutions and salts of citric acid. An example of the former, a salt istrisodium citrate; an ester istriethyl citrate. When citratetrianionis part of a salt, the formula of the citrate trianion is written as C6H5O73–or C3H5O(COO)33–.
