Cheap price Food Grade Food Additive Citric Acid Monohydrate CAS 5949 - 29 - 1

1.In the food industry: Due to its mild and refreshing sour taste, monohydrate citric acid is widely used in the production of various beverages, sodas, wines, candies, pastries, biscuits, canned fruit juices, dairy products and other foods. In the market of all organic acids, citric acid has a market share of over 70%, and so far there is no acidulant that can replace citric acid. Citric acid monohydrate is mainly used as an acidic flavoring agent in refreshing beverages, fruit juices, jams, fruit candies and canned foods, etc. It can also be used as an antioxidant in edible oils.

2.In the water treatment industry, citric acid plays a role in sterilization and regulating the PH value of water quality in water treatment. The acidity of citric acid can alter the pH value of cells and affect the normal metabolism of bacteria. High concentrations of acidic hydrogen ions can also alter the biological activity of bacteria and directly damage cells.

3.Chemical reagent washing: Citric acid can be used as a chemical analysis reagent in chemical technology, serving as an experimental reagent, chromatographic analysis reagent, and biochemical reagent. It is used as a complexing agent and masking agent for preparing buffer solutions. Using citric acid or citrate salts as detergents can improve the performance of washing products. They can quickly precipitate metal ions, prevent contaminants from reattaching to fabrics, maintain the necessary alkalinity for washing, disperse and suspend dirt and dust, and enhance the performance of surfactants.

4.Flue gas desulfurization: Citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution is used for flue gas desulfurization. Coal resources are abundant and constitute a major part of energy. However, there has always been a lack of effective flue gas desulfurization processes, resulting in severe atmospheric SO2 pollution. At present, the annual emission of SO2 has approached 40 million tons. It is an urgent task to study effective desulfurization processes. Citric acid - sodium citrate buffer solution is a desulfurization absorbent with great development value due to its low vapor pressure, non-toxicity, stable chemical properties and high absorption rate of SO2.

5.Poultry and livestock additives: Adding citric acid to the feed of piglets can help them wean earlier, increase feed utilization by 5% to 10%, and boost the litter size of sows. Adding 1% to 2% citric acid to the diet of growing and fattening pigs can increase daily weight gain, reduce feed-to-meat ratio, improve protein digestibility, reduce back fat thickness, and improve meat quality and carcass characteristics.

6.Cosmetics: Citric acid is a type of fruit acid. Its main function is to accelerate the renewal of keratin. It is often used in lotions, creams, shampoos, whitening products, anti-aging products, acne products, etc. The renewal of keratin helps to shed melanin in the skin, shrink pores and dissolve blackheads, etc.

7.Sterilization: The combined effect of citric acid and 80 degrees Celsius has a good effect in killing bacterial spores and can effectively kill bacterial spores contaminated in the pipelines of hemodialysis machines.

8.In the pharmaceutical industry, monohydrate citric acid is mainly used as an anticoagulant, antacid, flavoring agent, and in cosmetics, etc.

9.Chemical industry: Monohydrate citric acid is used in the chemical industry to produce triethyl citrate or tributyl citrate and citrate salts, etc.

10.Electroplating industry: Monohydrate citric acid is used in the electroplating industry to adjust pH values and act as a complexing agent. It is used as a complexing agent in electroless plating and electroplating, and is also used in the preparation of electroless plating and electroplating salts. It can also adjust the ph value of these electrolytes.

11.The determination of metals and nitrites, etc. : Monohydrate citric acid can be used as a reagent for the determination of bismuth, aluminum, copper, mercury, nickel, nitrite, hyponitrite, etc. It is used for the preparation of buffer solutions and biological culture media.

12.Metal etching: Monohydrate citric acid can be used for metal etching.

13.Cleaning products: Monohydrate citric acid is used as a surfactant in the cosmetics industry for cleaning products.

14.Promoting the secretion of digestive juices: Monohydrate citric acid can promote the secretion of digestive juices and enhance appetite.
