The Technology Center of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan has developed a waste-free method for obtaining citric acid, based on the fermentation of microorganisms. About this reports the publication “Turkmenistan: Golden Age”.
The developed method, to a certain extent, solves one of the current problems of processing waste from industrial enterprises of the country and establishing waste-free production.
In the food industry, citric acid is widely used in the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, refining vegetable oils, and as a pH regulator. It is also used as a preservative. It is also used in the textile industry to remove
iron deposits from boilers and hot water systems, to prevent foaming, notes the source.
