Citric Acid, Form : Powder, Packaging Type : white

Citric acid is a natural occurring fruit acid, produced commercially by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate substrate. Citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and pH-control agent in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and technical applications. Citric acid anhydrous occurs as colourless crystals or as white, crystalline powder with a strongly acidic taste. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %) and sparingly soluble in ether. Citric acid anhydrous is non-toxic and has a low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. Citric acid anhydrous is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage. 1 Appearance Colourless or white crystal 2 Identification and solubility Pass the test 3 Clarity and colorless of solution 20% water solution clarity 4 Assay 99.5% to 101.0% 5 Humidity ≤0.5% 6 Sulphated ash ≤0.1% 7 Loss on drying 7.8-8.8% 8 Sulphate ≤150ppm 9 Oxalates ≤350ppm 10 Calcium ≤200ppm 11 Heavy metals ≤10ppm 12 Iron ≤50ppm Price : USD 300 - 600 -per- Ton
