citrates
Lemon juice compounds
Citrates are salts or esters of citric acid, the compound that gives citrus fruits their tartness.
Sodium citrate and potassium citrate appear in foods as acidity regulators and preservatives.
In medicine, citrates prevent blood from clotting during storage and transfusion.
The lab added citrate to the blood samples.
