The molecular formula of citric acid monohydrate is C6H8O7·H2O. It is mainly used in the food and beverage industry as a sour agent, flavoring agent, preservative, and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent in the chemical industry, cosmetics industry and washing industry.
Powder and air can form explosive mixtures. In case of open flame, high heat or contact with oxidants, there is a danger of combustion and explosion. Citric acid monohydrate and sodium citrate dihydrate are mixed with citrate buffer solution of pH 6.0.
Citric acid monohydrate has a stimulating effect. In industrial use, contact may cause eczema.
Extended information:
The differences between citric acid monohydrate and citric acid anhydrous are as follows:
1. Different properties:
None Water citric acid is colorless translucent crystals or white particles or white crystalline powder, odorless, extremely sour in taste, soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization.
Citric acid monohydrate is mainly used in the food and beverage industry as a sour agent, flavoring agent, preservative, and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent in the chemical industry, cosmetics industry and washing industry.
2. Different uses:
Anhydrous citric acid is mainly used in the food and beverage industries as a sour agent, acidity regulator, flavoring agent, preservative, and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent in the chemical industry, cosmetics industry and washing industry.
