Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Product Overview & Specifications
Citric Acid Anhydrous is the water‑free form of citric acid. It is a white crystalline powder, typically with purity ≥ 99.5%. Because it has no water of crystallization, its anhydrous form allows for higher acid strength per weight, and more compact formulation. It melts around 153–155 °C.
Functionality & Mechanism
Because it is anhydrous, every gram carries full acidity, which is beneficial where moisture must be minimized. It can act as acidulant, chelator, buffer, and flavoring agent, similar to the monohydrate form, but more efficient in dry formulations.
Uses / Applications
- Dry Blends / Granules / Sachets: Used in effervescent tablets, powdered beverage mixes, dry blends in supplements where hydration is undesirable.
- Food & Beverage: As acidifier in dry mixes, powdered beverage concentrates, candy, or dry fruit coatings.
- Pharmaceuticals: In dry tablet formulations, lyophilized preparations, or where moisture must be minimized.
- Cosmetic Powders: In dry formulations that later dissolve or mix at point of use.
