What's happening is that the citric acid denatures some proteins. Heat also denatures proteins, so it's similar to cooking, but since no (or, at least, very very little) heat is involved, it's not exactly the same (it won't necessarily kill parasites or bacteria, for example, and only those portions that the citric acid penetrates to will be affected at all).

To determine the purity of citric acid by titration, you would need to titrate a known concentration of a base (such as NaOH) with a solution of citric acid. The amount of base required to neutralize the citric acid can be used to calculate the purity of the citric acid sample. The purity can be calculated by comparing the experimental results to the theoretical stoichiometry of the reaction.
