INVESTIGATIONS ON THE OCCURRENCE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF CITRIC ACID IN THE SALIVA

YNGVE ERICSSON 1

1 National Institute of Dental Research, Bethesda, Md., and the Department of Physiological Chemistry of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn.

The citrate content of the saliva was increased after ingestion of citraterich fruits and beverages, due to an intraoral retention. The concentration decreased rapidly, being only slightly above the fasting value after 10 minutes.

Citrate concentrations of the order occurring 2 minutes after the test ingestions had no apparent influence on the solubility of the enamel apatite in the saliva, as tested in equilibrium experiments in the pH range 5 to 7.5.
