Citric Acid Monohydrate is a naturally occurring organic acid produced by fermentation and refining from corn or potato starch. It appears as a white crystalline powder, is readily soluble in water, and offers a refreshing sour taste. As the most commonly used acidulant in the food industry, it is widely applied in beverages, confectionery, jams, and dairy products to adjust acidity, enhance flavor, provide antioxidant effects, and support preservation.
Main Characteristics of Citric Acid Monohydrate:
• Natural Origin– Produced from corn or potato starch through microbial fermentation and refining
• Refreshing Sour Taste– Pure, clean sourness with no bitter or unpleasant aftertaste
• Good Solubility– Easily and rapidly soluble in water, facilitating processing and use
• High Purity– White crystalline powder with purity of over 99.5%
• Metal Ion Chelation– Chelates metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, providing antioxidant and color-preserving effects
• pH Regulation– Effectively adjusts food acidity and enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of preservatives
• High Safety– Naturally present in citrus fruits; internationally recognized as safe (GRAS)
• Wide Application Range – Widely used in beverages, confectionery, jams, dairy products, canned foods, frozen foods, and more
