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.
