Critric acid is made from starch by advanced
biological technology,It is a white crystalline
powder.It can exist either in
anhydrous(water-free)from or monohydrate.The
anhydrous from crystallizes from hot water,whereas
the monohydrate forms when citric acid is
crystallized form cold water.When heated above
175'C, it decomposes through the loss of carbon
dioxide and water.
