Overview

Organic acids are carbon-containing compounds characterized by one or more acidic functional groups, most commonly the carboxyl group (-COOH), which gives them their acidic properties. They are widespread in nature and play essential roles in biochemistry, taking part in energy metabolism, cell signaling, and the synthesis of larger molecules, while in industry they are valued as preservatives, acidulants, flavoring agents, and chemical intermediates. In foods and agricultural products, organic acids such as citric, malic, and ascorbic acids contribute to flavor, stability, and nutritional and functional quality, and their concentration is often used as an indicator of product characteristics. Within the scope of developments in chemistry, research relevant to organic acids includes work on processing methods that concentrate functional components and nutrients, such as the production of dried tomato powder with high levels of functional constituents, and comparisons of drying methods for strawberry powders that affect the retention of acid-bearing and other bioactive compounds. Related work has characterized the antioxidant properties of red and yellow cashew apple, nut, and husk, in which organic acids and polyphenols contribute to functional value. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the chemistry and applications of organic acids.
