Abstract: Recent researches on synthesis and application of citric acid esters were introduced. The catalysts, such as sulfonic acid, solid superacid, teropolyacid and inorganic salt for the synthesis of citric acid esters were summarized. The advantages and shortcomings of these catalysts were analyzed and compared. Several technologies such as crosslink, nanotechnology, magnetization and microwave radiation on the modification of the catalyst were introduced. The development prospect of synthesis of citric acid esters was also pointed.

Key words: citric acid esters, esterification, catalysis
