Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Citric Acid (Monohydrate) IP

Flavor Balancing Agent

Enhances tanginess, tartness and corrects sweetness-acidity ratios in savory snacks, confections, and sherbets.

Flavoring Agent

Provides a sour, tart profile in soft drinks, syrups, lozenges, and candies.

Pharmaceutical Excipient

Commonly used in syrups, suspensions, lozenges, and effervescent formulations as a stabilizer and pH buffer.

Preservation & Shelf-Life Control

Inhibits microbial growth in dry mixes, bakery products, and nutraceutical formulations

pH Control

Used to regulate alkalinity in effervescent tablets, powdered beverages, and rehydration solutions.

Preservative Action

Acts as a chelating agent by binding metal ions and lowering pH, thereby slowing oxidation and spoilage.

Have Questions About Citric Acid (Monohydrate) IP?
We've Got Answers.

Anhydrous citric acid contains no water of crystallization, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive formulations or dry blends. Monohydrate contains one molecule of water per citric acid molecule and is more commonly used in liquid formulations.

Used as an acidulant, flavor enhancer, and preservative in food. In pharmaceuticals, it's applied for effervescence, pH adjustment, and as a buffering agent in oral and injectable formulations.

Yes. USP/IP grades meet stringent pharmacopeial standards for purity and are widely accepted in dietary supplements and functional food applications.

Yes. Most commercial citric acid is produced via fermentation using natural carbohydrate sources (e.g., corn, molasses), making it non-GMO and acceptable for clean label claims where fermentation-derived acids are allowed.

Available in 25 kg HDPE-lined paper bags, 500 kg jumbo bags, or 1000 kg totes depending on volume and moisture barrier needs.

It may lower pH significantly and can react with certain actives or excipients; careful buffering may be required in sensitive formulations.

Yes. It is free from all major allergens, and fermentation-based production ensures suitability for vegan, halal, and kosher diets.

Typical shelf life is 3 years when stored in a cool, dry place in original sealed packaging. Sensitive to moisture; reseal tightly after opening.
