Citric Acid Anhydrous

Anhydrous Citric Acid is a white crystalline powder with strong acidity and good solubility, its molecular formula is C₆HO₇, and its molecular weight is 192.12. It is stable at room temperature, but it decomposes easily under high temperature or alkaline conditions.The uses of anhydrous Citric Acid include:

Food industry: It is used as an acidifier, preservative, and buffer, and is used in beverages,ies, jams, pickles, etc., to adjust the pH value, enhance the taste and flavor, and extend the shelf life. Pharmaceutical industry: It used in the preparation of drug excipients and as an acidifier, to adjust the pH value of drug formulations, ensure the effectiveness and stability of drugs, and can also be as a raw material for certain drug synthesis reactions. 

Chemical industry: It is used as a cleaning agent, metal treatment agent, and plastic stabilizer. For example, is used as a rust remover and anticorrosive agent in metal surface treatment, and as a chelating agent to remove heavy metal ions from water.

Other: In cosmetics, it is used to adjust the pH value, enhance the mildness and safety of products; in the processing of textiles, it is used as a mord to improve the dyeing effect and uniformity; it can also be used in the production of cleaners, dyes, perfumes, etc. 

In summary, anhydrousric acid, as a versatile organic acid, has a wide range of applications in many fields.
