Citric Acid Monohydrate: Essential Properties and Specifications
For chemists, formulators, and quality control specialists, a deep understanding of a chemical's intrinsic properties and specifications is fundamental to its successful application. Citric Acid Monohydrate (CAS 5949-29-1) is an organic acid celebrated for its versatile nature, and its precise characteristics are key to its widespread use. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a leading manufacturer and supplier, ensures its products meet stringent specifications.
The appearance of high-quality Citric Acid Monohydrate is typically a White Crystalline Powder. This physical characteristic is an initial indicator of purity and proper processing. Its molecular formula is C6H8O7•H2O, with a molecular weight of approximately 210.14 g/mol. The presence of the monohydrate indicates it is bound to a single water molecule, which influences its stability and handling properties compared to its anhydrous counterpart.
A critical specification is the assay, which refers to the purity of the substance. Our Citric Acid Monohydrate consistently achieves an assay of 99.5%-101.0%, meeting international standards such as BP, USP, and FCC. This high purity is essential for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries where even minor impurities can affect product performance and safety. When you buy Citric Acid Monohydrate from us, you are guaranteed this level of purity.
Solubility is another key property. Citric Acid Monohydrate is easily soluble in cold and hot water, which is crucial for its use in aqueous formulations and solutions. For instance, in food and beverage applications, its rapid dissolution ensures uniform distribution of flavor and acidity. As a reliable supplier, we provide detailed technical data sheets (TDS) and material safety data sheets (MSDS) that outline these essential properties. We invite you to inquire about our product specifications and competitive price, confident in the quality we offer as a distinguished manufacturer.
