Cas 6132 04 3 Citric Acid Powder Citric Acid Trisodium Salt Dihydrate

Food additive for foreign markets Daily Chemical,Cosmetic,Food Used Powder Citric Acid/Sodium Citrate/Trisodium Citrate

Appearance: white crystalline powder

Physical and Chemical data:

Other related indexes:

Solubility: Soluble in water (720g/L at 25℃), not soluble in alcohol.

Relationship / difference between sodium citrate Anhydrous and sodium citrate dihydrate:

The only difference is there are 2 crystal water molecule in sodium citrate dihydrate, there is almost no difference in chemical features and applications.

Main application:

1), Food industry as acidity modifier;

2), Detergent industry as water softener and auxiliary;

3), Cosmetics;

4), Chemical industry and etc.

Features:

1), Big solubility in water, alcohol and ether;

2), Water softening ability, it can combine the Ca2+ and other metal ions (except for alkali metal), and for the compounds (like Calcium citrate), their solubility in cold water is higher than hot water, which is a big advantage in detergent industry;

3), pH buffering ability;

4), Low toxic.

Function and application in food industry:

1), As color fixative for fresh vegetables and fruits ( 1% CAM + 1~2% sodium chloride solution);

2), As pH buffering agent and modifiers in various mass production food;

3), As antioxidant in the mass processing of many food;

4), As modifier when combined with sodium bicarbonate in wheaten food;

5), As flavor and smell-remover in salted food and cans;

Function in detergent industry:

Replacing STPP to soften water with the following advantages:

1), Environmental friendly with good bi-degradation;

2), Better safety in dish washing and other related detergents which can enter human organs easily;

3), Good chelating ability, not only to Ca2+, Mg2+ but also to other non-alkali metal ions, and the solubility of these chelated salts in cold water is bigger than hot water;

4), Better solubility than STPP, Zeolite;

5), Good pH buffering ability;

6), Rust inhibiting ability which is good for the related equipments and pipes;

7), Thickening agent in liquid detergent system.

Important notice:

We normally list 2 years as the shelf life in our COA, the real shelf life can be slightly longer than 2 years if it’s stocked in good condition (bags are sealed enough, away from direct sun-light, moisture and other incompatible chemical materials).
