Citric Acid Monohydrate
Product description
Citric Acid Monohydrate is a highly purified, crystalline organic acid widely used across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Chemically known as C₆H₈O₇·H₂O, it exists as a white, odorless, water-soluble powder with a characteristic tangy, sour taste.
Derived primarily from fermentation of sugars using Aspergillus niger, it functions as a versatile acidulant, pH regulator, chelating agent, and preservative.
In food and beverage applications, citric acid monohydrate is employed to enhance flavor, preserve freshness, control acidity, and stabilize emulsions, making it indispensable in soft drinks, fruit juices, confectionery, jams, and dairy products.
Its chelating properties improve metal ion stability, preventing discoloration and spoilage in processed foods.
Additionally, in pharmaceuticals, it acts as an excipient, effervescent agent, and stabilizer, while in industrial applications, it finds use in cosmetics, detergents, and cleaning agents.
