We are one of the leading manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of Citric Acid (Monohydrate) IP in USA. Its CAS Number is 5949-29-1, and the chemical formula is C6H8O7.H2O.
Citric Acid is a naturally occurring tricarboxylic acid derived from citrus fruits, available in both anhydrous and monohydrate crystalline forms. Known for its strong acidic profile and high solubility, it serves as a souring agent, chelating agent, pH regulator, and preservative across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations. In its monohydrate IP grade, Citric Acid appears as free-flowing crystals that dissolve quickly ideal for syrups, jellies, beverages, & oral pharmaceutical suspensions. The anhydrous IP/USP form is supplied as colorless crystals or fine powder with a sharp taste, generally used in tablet manufacturing and powdered mixes where moisture sensitivity is critical. Also referred to as 2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-propane-tricarboxylic acid and E330 by speciality chemical suppliers and manufacturers, Citric Acid is further valued in industrial sectors for enhancing the performance of cleaning agents, descalers, and water treatment systems through metal ion chelation.
Citric acid monohydrate is a white crystalline powder that contains one molecule of water for every molecule of citric acid (C₆H₈O₇·H₂O). Also known as citric monohydrate or monohydrate citric acid, it is widely used as an acidulant, flavor enhancer, and preservative across the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The molecular weight of citric acid monohydrate is 210.14 g/mol, slightly higher than that of anhydrous citric acid due to the water content. As one of the reputed citric acid monohydrate manufacturers in the USA, we supply high-purity (99.5-100%), food-grade citrate monohydrate manufactured under strict USP and FCC standards. We also provide complete citric acid monohydrate SDS and technical specifications for regulatory compliance. We follow stringent quality testing protocols to ensure product safety and serve a better product to US manufacturers and bulk buyers. We offer competitive citric acid monohydrate prices for bulk orders.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Citric acid monohydrate is a widely used acidulant and preservative in soft drinks, fruit juices, candies, sauces, and jams. It balances flavor, improves tartness, and extends shelf life by preventing microbial growth. Due to its excellent solubility and cost-effectiveness, it is preferred by many bulk citric monohydrate buyers in the food industry.
In pharmaceuticals, citric acid monohydrate helps adjust pH and stabilize active ingredients. It is commonly used in syrups, lozenges, and effervescent tablets. Its granular structure and controlled moisture content support proper dissolution and formulation behavior.
In personal care products, monohydrate citric acid is used to stabilize pH in shampoos, lotions, and skincare products. It also enhances the antioxidant performance of various formulations by chelating metal ions.
Citrate monohydrate is also valued in biodegradable cleaning agents. It removes scale, binds minerals in hard water, and enhances cleaning performance without environmental toxicity. Industries sourcing citric acid monohydrate in bulk often include eco-cleaning product companies and industrial solution providers.
Meat processors rely on citric acid monohydrate for antimicrobial rinses. It improves food safety and enhances freshness retention in poultry, seafood, and ready-to-eat food categories.
