# Laboratory analysis and quantification of organic acids

## Your needs : to analyze and quantify your organic acids in accordance with relevant standards

An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties, that’s to say that its capable of giving a H+ or H3O+ cation (positively charged ion) when in an aqueous solution.

Organic acids encompass very many acids such as :

- **Salicylic**acid
- **Formic**acid
- **Citric**acid : found in food additives (drinks, candy…)
- **Lactic**acid : biproducts of the fermentation process, mainly found in dairy products, pickles…
- **Sorbic**acid
- **Dichloroacetic**acid
- **Benzoic**acid
- Etc…

Organic acids are used in [cosmetics](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/laboratory-analysis-cosmetics.md) as preservatives thanks to their antimicrobial effects or as additives in food products.
