Citric acid is a white, crystalline, weak organic acid present in most plants and many animals as an intermediate in cellular respiration. Citric acid contains three carboxyl groups making it a carboxylic, more specifically a tricarboxylic, acid.the name citrus originates from the Greek kedromelon meaning apple of melon for the fruit citron. Greek works mention kitron, kitrion, or kitreos for citron fruit, which is an oblong fruit several inches long from the scrublike tree Citrus medica. Lemons and limes have high citric acid content, which may account for up to 8% of the fruit’s dry weight.

Hydrogenated lecithin is light yellow or milky white powder. Due to the use of catalysis and hydrogenation processes, the unsaturated chains of unsaturated fatty acids in the molecular structure of soybean lecithin disappear, thereby greatly improving the chemical stability, dispersibility, and emulsification of lecithin. It has decolorization and deodorization effects, which is more conducive to storage and preservation, and improves its role in medicine, high-end cosmetics, and light industry. It is especially suitable for intravenous fat emulsifiers and nutrients. It is used as a blood lipid emulsifier to prevent arteriosclerosis, and has the advantages of being easy to digest, easy to absorb, and almost not remaining in the internal organs.
