Citric Acid

Category:

Citric acid (CA), also known as citric acid, with the molecular formula C₆H₈O₇, is an important organic acid, which is a colorless crystal, odorless, has a strong sour taste, is easily soluble in water, and is an acidity regulator (GB2760-2014). Food additives.

Citric acid is the world’s largest organic acid produced by biochemical methods, citric acid and salt are one of the pillar products of the fermentation industry, mainly used in the food industry, such as acidulants, solubilizers, buffers, antioxidants, odor removal and deodorants, flavor enhancers, gelling agents, toning agents, etc.

Description

Chemical name: Citric acid
English Name: Citric acid
Molecular formula: C6H8O7
Molecular weight: 192.122
CAS NO: 77-92-9
Sex: Relative density 1.542, melting point 153°C (water loss), refractive index 1.493~1.509
Colorless translucent crystalline or white particles or white crystalline powder, often containing a molecule of crystalline water, odorless, extremely acidic taste, soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Its calcium salts are more soluble in cold water than in hot water, and this property is commonly used to identify and separate citric acid. Controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization can obtain anhydrous citric acid. The aqueous solution is acidic. It is slightly weathered in dry air and liquescence in humid air. Above 175°C, water and carbon dioxide are released.
Usage: It is used in cleaning, water treatment, printing and dyeing industry, etc.
Packaging: Lined with polyethylene plastic bag, outer plastic woven bag, 25Kg per bag.
Storage and transportation: It should be stored in a dry, ventilated and clean warehouse.
