Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between citric acid anhydrous and monohydrate?

The core structural distinction centers on internal structural water content. Citric acid anhydrous exhibits a crystalline network devoid of water molecules, matching dry manufacturing formulas perfectly. Citric acid monohydrate binds one water molecule per structural cluster, offering an optimal, cost-efficient path for liquid formulations.

What is the HSN code for Citric Acid?

The unified commercial HSN classification code for Citric Acid variants stands at 28181400 across domestic and shipping cargo manifests.

How do you convert citric acid monohydrate to anhydrous?

To convert citric acid monohydrate quantities to their anhydrous weight value equivalents, apply a factor of 0.9142. Thermally, passing a heat threshold of 78°C drives the bound crystal water away, causing monohydrate solids to transform directly into an anhydrous state.

What is another name for citric acid monohydrate?

Beyond common designations, it is chemically written as 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid hydrate, and widely specified across retail avenues as sour salt.

What are the structural properties of Citric Acid?

Citric acid utilizes a classic three-carboxyl carbon skeletal path bonded alongside an independent hydroxyl group. It represents a non-aromatic aliphatic acid system.

What are the key specifications of Citric Acid Anhydrous?

High-grade anhydrous material maps to CAS 77-92-9, displays a formula profile of C6H8O7, handles processing boiling limits near 310°C before breaking down, and exhibits a standard bulk crystal density of 1.665 g/cm³.

Is Citric Acid safe for food use?

Yes, Citric Acid is a widely approved food additive (E330), used extensively as an acidulant and preservative in food and beverages.

What is the pH of Citric Acid solutions?

Citric Acid is a weak acid; its aqueous solutions are acidic, typically around pH 2-3 for common working concentrations.

What are the main industrial applications of Citric Acid?

Citric Acid is used in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as a cleaning, descaling, and chelating agent in industrial processes.
