Food Grade Citric Acid/ Citric Acid Monohydrate/ Anhydrous Citric Acid
Citric acid (abbreviated as CA, also known as citric acid) is an important organic compound. It appears as colorless crystals, is odorless, has a strong sour taste, and is highly soluble in water. Depending on its water content, it is classified into citric acid monohydrate and anhydrous citric acid.
Product Details
Products Description
Citric acid is an important organic acid, also known as citric acid. It is a colorless crystal, usually containing one molecule of water of crystallization. It is odorless, has a strong sour taste, and is readily soluble in water. Its calcium salt is more soluble in cold water than in hot water; this property is often used to identify and separate citric acid. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization. It has numerous applications in industry, food processing, and cosmetics.
