Primary Benefits


Natural Acidity Regulation

As a premium acidity regulator, citric acid effectively adjusts the pH level of food and beverages, enhancing tartness to balance sweet flavors. This natural acidity boost elevates the taste profile of products like soft drinks, candies, and fruit snacks, creating a more refreshing and palatable experience.


Food Preservation & Shelf Life Extension

Acting as a natural preservative, citric acid inhibits microbial growth and prevents moisture loss, significantly extending the shelf life of food products. It maintains product freshness and quality, reducing waste for manufacturers and ensuring consumers receive safe, long-lasting goods.


Food Stabilization

The compound plays a crucial role in stabilizing food quality by preventing color fading, texture deterioration, and flavor degradation. It is particularly valuable in processed foods, where maintaining consistency across batches is essential.


Versatile Application Scope

Beyond the food industry, citric acid’s fruit acid properties make it a popular ingredient in skincare products such as lotions, creams, and shampoos. It accelerates keratin renewal, supporting whitening, anti-aging, and acne-fighting formulations—expanding its utility across multiple sectors.


Safety & Compliance

Our food-grade citric acid meets strict international safety standards, making it suitable for sugar-free, low-calorie, and health-conscious product lines. It is non-toxic, easily metabolized (as a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle), and safe for regular consumption when used in recommended amounts.


Precautions


Storage Guidelines

Store Citric Acid Monohydrate and Anhydrous Citric Acid in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption, clumping, or degradation. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humid environments, as these conditions can shorten the product’s shelf life.

Keep the 25kg packaging sealed tightly when not in use to maintain purity and prevent contamination from dust, dirt, or other substances.


Handling Recommendations

Use appropriate protective equipment (such as gloves) when handling the product to avoid direct contact with skin or eyes, as its acidic nature may cause mild irritation. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Ensure accurate dosage when adding to food or skincare formulations. Excessive use may alter the pH balance of products, affecting taste, texture, or performance. Follow industry guidelines and formulation recommendations for optimal results.


Transportation Notes

During transportation, secure the 25kg containers to prevent tipping, collision, or damage to the packaging. Avoid mixing with incompatible substances (such as strong bases or oxidizers) to ensure product safety.


FAQ


What are the main differences between Citric Acid Monohydrate and Anhydrous Citric Acid?

The key difference lies in moisture content. Citric Acid Monohydrate contains one molecule of water of crystallization, while Anhydrous Citric Acid is water-free. Both are food-grade and function as effective acidity regulators, but Anhydrous Citric Acid is preferred for applications requiring low moisture content (such as powdered foods or supplements) to prevent clumping, while Monohydrate is suitable for most liquid and semi-solid formulations.


Is your citric acid suitable for sugar-free and low-calorie products?

Yes! Our food-grade citric acid is an excellent choice for sugar-free, low-calorie, and health-conscious product lines. It adds natural tartness without contributing significant calories, making it ideal for manufacturers looking to create healthier alternatives to sugary snacks and beverages.


How long is the shelf life of your citric acid?

When stored in compliance with the recommended conditions (cool, dry place, sealed packaging), our citric acid has a shelf life of 2 years. Proper storage ensures the product retains its acidity, purity, and performance throughout its lifespan.


Can citric acid be used in skincare products?

Absolutely. As a natural fruit acid, citric acid is widely used in skincare formulations such as lotions, creams, shampoos, whitening products, anti-aging serums, and acne treatments. It accelerates keratin renewal, helping to improve skin texture, brighten tone, and address common skincare concerns—all while maintaining safety and compatibility with most cosmetic ingredients.
