Citric Acid has the molecular formula: C₆H₈O₇
It is a tricarboxylic acid containing three carboxyl functional groups, giving it strong acidifying and chelating capabilities that are essential in food preservation, cleaning formulations, and chemical manufacturing. Citric Acid is a naturally occurring tricarboxylic acid commonly produced through fermentation of sugars using microbial processes. It is widely used as a food acidulant, preservative, flavor enhancer, and chelating agent in many industries.
Our high-purity Citric Acid (99% Min) is available in Citric Acid Anhydrous and Citric Acid Monohydrate forms to meet different manufacturing and formulation requirements. Produced under strict quality control standards, our citric acid ensures consistent purity, excellent solubility, and reliable performance for a wide range of industrial applications.
As a professional Citric Acid supplier and exporter, we provide stable supply capacity, competitive factory pricing, and international logistics support for customers worldwide.
With strict quality control, stable production capacity, and global export experience, our calcium formate is trusted by customers in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America.
The Two Specifications We Offer
To support different industrial applications, we supply two main types of sodium carbonate.
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous contains no water of crystallization, making it suitable for applications requiring strict moisture control.
Common applications include:
- Effervescent tablets
- Powdered beverage mixes
- Dry food blends
- Pharmaceutical formulations
- Chemical intermediates
Because it contains no crystal water, it provides higher stability in dry formulations.
Citric Acid Monohydrate
Citric Acid Monohydrate contains one molecule of water per citric acid molecule, allowing it to dissolve easily in liquid systems.
Typical applications include:
- Soft drinks and beverages
- Liquid detergents
- Food flavor enhancement
- Cleaning solutions
- Industrial liquid formulations
It is widely used in liquid food and chemical processing industries.
Major Applications of Citric Acid
Food & Beverage Industry
Citric acid is widely used as a food acidulant and flavor enhancer in products such as:
- Soft drinks
- Fruit juices
- Candy and confectionery
- Jams and jellies
- Processed foods
It provides a refreshing sour taste while acting as a natural preservative.
Cleaning & Detergent Industry
Citric acid functions as a biodegradable chelating agent in cleaning products.
Benefits include:
- Removing limescale and mineral deposits
- Improving detergent efficiency
- Softening hard water
- Enhancing cleaning performance
It is widely used in household and industrial cleaning formulations.
Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Industry
Citric acid is commonly used for:
- pH adjustment in skincare products
- Effervescent tablets
- Bath bombs and cosmetics
