Citrate(3-)

Citrate (3-) (chemical formula: C₆H₅O₇³⁻) is the trivalent anion form of citric acid, in the form of colorless crystals or powder. Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid that is widely found in citrus fruits. Citrate (3-) is the ion formed when citric acid loses three protons under alkaline conditions. Its molecular weight is 189.10 g/mol and it is easily soluble in water, and its solution is weakly alkaline.

Among food additives, Citrate (3-) is widely used in food and beverages as an acidity regulator, preservative and flavor enhancer. In the pharmaceutical field, Citrate (3-) is used as an anticoagulant (such as sodium citrate) to prevent blood coagulation. In the cleaning field, Citrate (3-) is used to make detergents and detergents, and has good chelating properties. In water treatment, Citrate (3-) is used to adjust pH and remove metal ions during water treatment. Citrate(3-) is also used in the laboratory to study buffer solutions and chelation reactions.
