Citric acid's ubiquitous occurrence in all aerobic organisms attests to its nontoxicity, and it is currently classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the federal drug administration (FDA). Alongside its non-toxicity, citric acid is a widely versatile product employed by food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals industries alike. It is this demand that keeps driving a constant increase in the market share, as just in 2022 the citric acid industry managed to accumulate 2.89 billion USD, and it is forecasted to increase 3% in the next ten years.30enCitric acidFermentationAspergillus nigerDEENK Témalista::Biology::BiotechnologyHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
