There are two types of Citric acid: Citric acid anhydrous and Citric acid monohydrate. The CAS NO. of Citric acid anhydrous is 77-92-9. It is translucent crystal or white fine powder with a strong sour taste.
Applications:
Food and beverage industry: Citric acid food additive is used in the food and beverage industry as a sour agent, acidity regulator, flavoring agent, preservative, and preservative. Citric acid anhydrous is widely used as a sour agent in the production of various beverages, juices, cans, candies, jams, and jelly which makes the products sour and delicious.
Feed industry: Citric acid anhydrous is used in the diet of early weaning piglets. It can adjust the pH value of the diet which activate inactive pepsinogen into active pepsin, providing a suitable environment for the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Other industry: Citric acid anhydrous also plays a certain role in medicine, chemistry and other industries. Anhydrous sodium citrate can be used as a blood transfusion agent; anhydrous citric acid can be used to make films for food packaging and pollution-free detergents.
