Citric Acid Monohydrate is a widely used organic acid in the food and beverage industry, known for its excellent acidity regulation, flavor enhancement, and preservative properties. It appears as a white crystalline powder with high purity and good solubility in water.
This product is commonly applied in beverages, candies, bakery products, and various processed foods to provide a refreshing sour taste and improve product stability. It also functions as an antioxidant and pH regulator.
Produced under strict quality control standards, our Citric Acid Monohydrate complies with international food-grade specifications such as BP, USP, FCC, and E330. With stable quality and reliable supply, it is an ideal choice for global buyers.
I. Food and beverages (the main category)
- Acidulant: Carbonated beverages, fruit juices, lactic acid beverages, candies, jams, enhances refreshing sour taste and improves flavor.
- pH adjustment/gel: Adjusts pH to 3.0-3.4 for jams/jellies, helps gelatin solidify; protects canned foods from bacteria and maintains color.
- Antioxidation/Color preservation: Chelates metal ions, delays oxidation and color change in fruit juices, canned foods, and frozen foods, extends shelf life.
- Fermentation/Leavening: Reacts with baking soda to produce gas, used in effervescent tablets, baking leavening agents.
- Dairy products: Adjusts acidity, stabilizes milk proteins, improves taste.
II. Medicine
- Pharmaceutical excipients: pH regulators, stabilizers, and solubilizers for effervescent tablets, oral liquids, and cough syrups.
- Chelated calcium supplementation: Promotes calcium/iron absorption, used in calcium and iron supplementation preparations; alleviates alkalosis.
- Buffer solutions / culture media: Prepare pharmaceutical liquid buffering systems, microbial culture media.
III. Cosmetics and Personal Care
- pH adjuster: Face cream, lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, gently adjusts pH and stabilizes the formula.
- Exfoliation/whitening: α-hydroxy acids, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, brighten skin tone, and improve roughness.
- Preservative/antioxidant: Inhibits microorganisms, delays component oxidation and deterioration.
- Cleaner: Chelates scale, softens water quality, used for removing scale and brightening in bathrooms and clothes.
IV. Industrial Applications
