DL-iso-citric acid trisodium salt is the trisodium salt of isocitric acid. Isocitric acid is the isomer of citric acid. The isocitric acid is an essential substrate in the central metabolic pathway, citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) inside organisms. Since it is an organic acid found in most fruit juices, it is commonly used as a marker to evaluate the authenticity and quality of fruit products, most often citrus juices in food industry.
