CITRIC ACID MONOHYDRATE
High quality citric acid monohydra
Description
Citric acid monohydrate is a form of citric acid that contains one molecule of water per molecule of citric acid. Citric acid itself is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent, acidulant, preservative, and pH regulator in various food, beverage, and industrial products. Here are some key points about citric acid monohydrate: Water Content: Citric acid monohydrate contains one molecule of water (H2O) per molecule of citric acid (C6H8O7). The presence of water in this form does not significantly affect its chemical properties, but it does slightly alter its physical characteristics. Food and Beverage Industry: Citric acid monohydrate has many of the same applications as anhydrous citric acid in the food and beverage industry: – Flavor Enhancer: It adds a tangy and acidic flavor to food and beverages, enhancing their taste.

Anhydrous citric acid has similar properties to citric acid monohydrate. The difference is the crystallization procedure. While the monohydrate citric acid is crystalized in cold water, the anhydrous forms are crystallized in water at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. In the process, it loses all the water within the crystals.
