Citric Acid
Manufacturing
Citric acid is an organic acid derived from aspergillus niger fungus. This product has natural disinfecting and antibacterial properties. It is commonly used in food, cosmetics, and cleaning products.
Pharmaceuticals
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a water-soluble organic acid. It is a crystalline, colorless or white powder. As a naturally occurring acid found in fruits, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Citric Acid Anhydrous is known for regulating acidity in pharmaceutical applications, and it is antimicrobial. It also has chelating and stabilizing properties, and acts as a preservative.
Citric Acid Monohydrate is a crystalline form of citric acid, a naturally occurring organic acid found in fruits. It appears as a colorless or white crystalline powder. The monohydrate form of this acid contains one molecule of water for every molecule of citric acid, which makes it more stable and easier to handle. It serves as a buffering agent to stabilize the pH in oral, injectible, and topical medications. Citric Acid Monohydrate is a chelating agent, and is used in oral medications to improve its taste. It has mild antimicrobial properties.
Food
Citric Acid is a nautrally occurring weak organic acid commonly found in citrus fruits. Citric Acid acts as a flavor enhancer and adds a tart taste to foods and beverages. Citric Acid is a key ingredient in many acidic foods like soft drinks, candies, jams, and fruit preserves. Additionally, it acts as a preservative by lowering the pH and inhbiting the growth of microorganisms on food.
