List-I Natural Sources

List-II Acids

(A) Tamarind

(IV) Tartaric acid

(B) Tomato

(I) Oxalic acid

(C) Ant sting

(II) Methanoic acid

(D) Lemon

(III) Citric acid

(A) Tamarind — (IV) Tartaric acid Tamarind is well known for its sharp, sour taste, which comes primarily from tartaric acid. This acid is also found in grapes and bananas.

(B) Tomato — (I) Oxalic acid While tomatoes contain several acids (including citric and malic), they are a notable dietary source of oxalic acid.

(C) Ant sting — (II) Methanoic acid Methanoic acid is also commonly known as formic acid (derived from the Latin word formica, meaning ant). It is the substance injected during an ant bite that causes the stinging sensation.

(D) Lemon — (III) Citric acid Lemons are the classic example of citrus fruits, which are rich in citric acid, giving them their characteristic tartness.
