10-40 Mesh Anhydrous Citric Acid with Food Grade Lemon Acid Power Ensign

Anhydrous citric acid appears as a white crystalline powder. It is odorless but has a strong sour taste. It has excellent solubility and is highly soluble in water and ethanol. In the food industry, it is often used as a sour agent to add a refreshing sourness and enhance the taste. In beverages, it can adjust the flavor, making the drinks more appealing. In the pharmaceutical field, in addition to adjusting the pH value, it can also serve as an antioxidant, effectively prolonging the shelf life of drugs. Thanks to its unique physical and chemical properties, anhydrous citric acid plays a crucial role in numerous industries.

(1) Food and Beverage Industry: As a sour agent, it can endow foods and beverages with a refreshing sour taste and improve the flavor, and is widely used in carbonated beverages, fruit juice drinks, candies, jams, etc. At the same time, it can be used as a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food.

(2)  Pharmaceutical Industry: It is used to adjust the pH value of pharmaceutical preparations to ensure the stability and effectiveness of drugs. It can also serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of a variety of pharmaceuticals.

(3)  Chemical Industry: It is an important raw material for the preparation of various chemical products such as citrates and citrate esters. When added to detergents, it can soften the water quality and enhance the cleaning effect.

(4) Cosmetics Industry: It is used to adjust the pH value of cosmetics. It also has the effects of moisturizing and anti-oxidation, which can keep the skin hydrated and delay aging.

(1) Sour Taste Regulation Function: It can provide a pure and intense sour taste, and accurately adjust the acidity of foods, beverages, etc., so as to achieve an ideal flavor balance.

(2)  Antiseptic and Preservation Function: By reducing the environmental pH value, it can inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts, thus extending the shelf life of foods, pharmaceuticals, etc.

(3)   Chelation of Metal Ions Function: It has a strong chelating ability for metal ions such as iron, copper, and zinc. It can prevent oxidation reactions caused by metal ions, avoid product discoloration and deterioration, and improve product stability.

(4) pH Value Regulation Function: In the fields of medicine, cosmetics, etc., it can adjust the pH value of the system to an appropriate range, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the product, and at the same time improving the safety and comfort of use.

(5)  Antioxidant Function: It has a certain reducing property itself, and can react with oxygen to reduce the oxygen content in the system, prevent the components in the product from being oxidized, and maintain the quality.
