Production of Citric Acid: A Review on Research and Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
Chemical engineering deals with synthesis of various chemicals in economical and efficient manner. Raw material is important aspect for cost effective manufacturing of chemicals. Biological methods for syntheis consume less energy and are very economical for production of chemicals such as ethanol, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid etc. Waste solid materials such as molassis, fruit peels, waste leaves and other waste can be used as a feed stock.The problem of solid waste can thus be solved while manufacturing the required compound. Many investigators have carried out research on manufacturing of different compounds from different feed stocks in order to observe yield and optimiz various parameters affecting the synthesis. The present review summerizes research and studies on manufacturing of citric acid from different waste feed stocks.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (SA) and citric acid (CA) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) grown under field conditions. Salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mM) and citric acid (5 and 10 mM) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. Results revealed that foliar ap...
متن کاملStudy on the Possibility of Eliminating Sulfuring Process in the Production of Dried Apricots
The rate of agricultural and horticultural waste is high in Iran, and one of the best preventive methods is to convert fruits and crops to the products which have long shelf life and high quality. Traditionally apricots are dried in front of sun with excessive sulfuring which is proved to be harmful for human. In the current study apricots were dried by either solar tunnel dryer or conventional...
