About Anhydrous Citric Acid

Anhydrous citric acid powder is a white, crystalline, odorless powder with a strong, sour taste that contains no water molecules. It is a weak organic acid used as a preservative, acidulant, and flavor enhancer in food and beverages, and also has applications in cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics for adjusting pH and as an antioxidant

Exceptional Purity and Safety Standards

Our Anhydrous Citric Acid achieves a 99.5% purity, exceeding rigorous industry standards. It is produced to food, pharmaceutical, and industrial grades, ensuring broad applicability and compliance. Free of allergens and heavy metals (as Pb 5 ppm), it is safe for use in sensitive applications in food and drugs, while also being non-toxic and odorless.

Versatile Uses Across Industries

Citric acid's anhydrous form is valued in food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, and cleaning agents. It acts as an acidulant, flavor enhancer, pH regulator, and preservative. Beyond taste adjustment and shelf life extension in foods, it offers chelating and buffering properties essential for manufacturing and formulation in industrial and personal care products.

Optimal Packaging and Storage Solutions

Supplied mainly in 25kg bags, our Anhydrous Citric Acid can also be packed to meet specific customer requirements. To preserve its quality and longevity, it should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture and sunlight. These practices support a shelf life of two years, ensuring consistent product performance.

FAQ's of Anhydrous Citric Acid:

Q: How is Anhydrous Citric Acid typically used in different industries?

A: Anhydrous Citric Acid serves multiple purposes: as an acidulant and flavor enhancer in food and beverages, a pH regulator and preservative, a key intermediate in pharmaceuticals, and a component in cosmetics, detergents, and cleaning solutions. Its versatility stems from its strong acidic nature and high solubility in water.

Q: What are the benefits of using Anhydrous Citric Acid in food products?

A: In food applications, Anhydrous Citric Acid improves flavor, balances pH, and extends shelf life by acting as a natural preservative. Its strong acidic taste enhances beverages, candies, and processed foods, while maintaining product safety due to its non-toxic and allergen-free properties.

Q: Where should Anhydrous Citric Acid be stored to maintain its quality?

A: For maximum stability and shelf life, Anhydrous Citric Acid should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage conditions help retain its crystalline quality and effectiveness for up to two years.

Q: What is the process for packaging and distributing Anhydrous Citric Acid?

A: Anhydrous Citric Acid is mainly packaged in 25kg bags, but custom packaging is available based on customer requirements. After production, the material is carefully sealed and handled to prevent contamination and preserve its purity during distribution.

Q: When is Anhydrous Citric Acid preferred over other acidulants?

A: This acid is chosen for its strong acid taste, high solubility in water, and lack of odor or toxicity. It is preferred when a highly pure, easily handled, and versatile acidulant or chelating agent is required, such as in food, pharmaceuticals, or high-quality industrial formulations.

Q: What is the benefit of the anhydrous form compared to monohydrate citric acid?

A: The anhydrous form contains no water of crystallization, giving it a longer shelf life and higher stability. This makes it ideal for applications demanding precise moisture control or where a completely dry ingredient is necessary.
