Citric acid is one of the primary things that makes orange juice
taste like orange juice. You don't have OJ without it.

You can get low-acid OJ, but not no-acid. Or you can neutralize
the acid with an alkaline substance, like sodium hydroxide or
baking soda, but it'll end up tasting salty, which I think would be
revolting.

If your father thinks he is suffering from an acid stomach,
and wants to avoid acidic foods, then he's suffering from a
misconception. The acid naturally in the stomach is much, much
stronger than any acid one consumes, so consuming acidic foods won't
have any effect. The correct treatment for acid stomach is to eat
smaller meals, more often, and avoid rich meals in the evening.
Avoiding spicy food also helps. Eating plenty of fruits and
vegetables will help, but dairy products will provide only temporary
relief at the expense of making the problem worse.
