Abstract
A non-aqueous spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of citric acid in the presence of carboxylic acids and lactic acid. The method was developed as a result of critical evaluation of the Furth-Herrmann color reaction in a non-aqueous pyridine-acetic anhydride solution. The optimum conditions are described. The absorbance is read at 389 ± 2 mμ. The minimum concentration of citric acid that can accurately be determined is about 2 μg per sample.
