- For less dust and more whole granules, combine a suitable screen with reduced speed (frequency inverter).

**Citric acid** is an organic acid that is a component of all aerobic living organisms – most abundantly, and not surprisingly, in citrus fruits. This **weak acid** has been used as an additive in processed foods for over 100 years as a preservative, a bitter flavor or an emulsifying agent.

Due to its effective preservative properties, **citric acid** can be found in most canned and processed foods.

**Moinhos Vieira** has several customers who use its  **mills for citric acid grinding.**
