Citric Acid Anhydrous
Product description
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a highly purified, crystalline organic acid (C₆H₈O₇) widely utilized across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Unlike its monohydrate form, anhydrous citric acid contains no bound water, offering higher acidity per unit weight, faster solubility in liquids, and enhanced stability in dry formulations.
It appears as a white, odorless, water-soluble powder with a characteristic tart and tangy flavor, making it an effective acidulant, pH regulator, chelating agent, and preservative.
In the food and beverage industry, citric acid anhydrous is employed to enhance flavor, adjust acidity, stabilize emulsions, and prolong shelf life in products such as soft drinks, juices, confectionery, dairy products, sauces, and jams.
Its chelation properties bind metal ions, preventing discoloration and spoilage while maintaining product integrity. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as an excipient, effervescent agent, and stabilizer, while in industrial applications, it is used in cosmetics, detergents, and cleaning formulations.
