Citrus fruits contain sufficient citric acid, which is the main tricarboxylic acid. The properties of citric acid make it an important additive in various process industries. This experimental study aims to produce citric acid from orange and grape juices. The chemical route for the synthesis of citric acid from citrus juices involves three steps: (i) neutralization to adjust pH (9-11) with a 2.8 M NaOH solution, (ii) addition of CaCl2 solution (40.3-41.1% w/v), and (iii) acidification with an H2SO4 solution (1.5-2.3 M) to produce citric acid. In this study, the fruits were peeled, crushed, filtered, neutralized, added CaCl2 solution, and acidified to obtain citric acid. The experiments were carried out by varying the final pH of the solution and the concentrations of CaCl2 and H2SO4 solutions, maintaining the total volume constant. A maximum citric acid yield of 91.1% and 79.8% were achieved from orange and grapefruits, respectively, at the optimum final pH of the solution and the concentrations of CaCl2 and H2SO4 solutions at 10, 40.7% w/v, and 1.9 M, respectively. Finally, the purified citric acid crystals were characterized using FTIR and XRD. Thus, it could be concluded that orange fruit would be a promising source for citric acid production than grape.
