Monohydrate citric acid is a commonly used food-grade organic acidulant with one molecule of crystal water, appearing as white crystalline granules. It features pure and mild sour taste, which can adjust food acidity, chelate metal ions and slow down oxidative discoloration of raw materials. With excellent water solubility and cost-effective performance, it is widely used in the processing of fruit juices, beverages, jams, condiments and other liquid food products. It is more suitable for liquid systems and needs to be hermetically stored to avoid moisture. Apart from food industry, it is also extensively applied in daily washing & care products, feed additives and industrial cleaning fields. Safe and non-irritating when used in compliance with standards, it ranks among the world’s most widely utilized food acidity regulators.
