Applications
Our citric acid monohydrate is incredibly versatile. Let’s take a closer look at where it shines:
Questions fréquemment posées
It is a crystalline form of citric acid that includes one molecule of water, commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
The monohydrate form contains water, affecting its weight and handling properties, while anhydrous citric acid is water-free and generally has a higher purity concentration.
It’s widely used as a flavoring agent, preservative, acidulant in foods and beverages, and in cleaning agents and cosmetic products.
Yes, when used within regulated limits, it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by food safety authorities.
Major sectors include the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household cleaning products.
It typically appears as a white crystalline powder with a slightly acidic taste, a melting point around 153°C, and good solubility in water.
It is generally synthesized through the fermentation of carbohydrate sources like molasses or corn starch, followed by crystallization and drying processes.
It should be stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain quality.
When stored properly, it can remain stable for several years, although manufacturers may specify an optimal use period for best quality.
Regular testing for purity, moisture content, and adherence to industry standards (such as food-grade specifications) is essential for quality control.
