Citric Acid (C₆H₈O₇) is a naturally occurring tricarboxylic acid found in citrus fruits, universally valued for its acidity, high solubility, and chelating properties. Citric Acid (2-Hydroxy-1,2,3-propane-tricarboxylic acid or E330) available in two main commercial forms: Citric Acid Monohydrate and Anhydrous Citric Acid, the difference being the presence or absence of water molecules in the crystalline structure. Both forms are supplied in IP/USP grades, ensuring high purity and consistent performance. Citric Acid serves multiple industries including Food & Beverage Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics & Personal Care, Industrial Cleaning & Detergents, Chemical Manufacturing, and other specialized applications. We are among the trusted citric acid manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, offering high-quality monohydrate and anhydrous grades that meet quality and safety standards, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Provides a sharp, tart taste in soft drinks, fruit juices, candies, and jams, balancing sweetness and enhancing overall flavor profiles
Acidic nature inhibits microbial growth, significantly extending the shelf life of various food products.
Crucial for maintaining stable pH levels in drug formulations, optimizing stability, and efficacy. Essential for balancing the pH of creams, lotions, shampoos, and cleansers to match the skin's natural pH, ensuring product stability and skin compatibility. Used as a precise pH regulator in various chemical reactions and processes
Reacts with bicarbonates to produce carbon dioxide, creating the fizz in effervescent tablets and powders, aiding in drug dissolution and palatability.
Used to bind trace metals that could otherwise catalyze degradation reactions in medicines
Helps protect formulations from oxidation, maintaining product integrity.
Highly effective in removing mineral deposits (limescale, rust) from pipes, boilers, and industrial equipment due to its chelating properties.
Used to control pH and sequester metal ions in industrial water systems.
Incorporated into some plastics to enhance flexibility
