CITRIC ACID MONO

Citric Acid Mono(hydrate) is a food-grade organic acid supplied, rather than manufactured, by Ningbo Pangs Chem Co., Ltd., used as a preservative and acidulant (E330) in beverages and processed foods, an excipient in effervescent tablets and syrups, an exfoliant/pH adjuster in cosmetics, and a descaling agent in household and industrial cleaning. The supplier notes the monohydrate form converts to anhydrous citric acid on losing water above roughly 74°C, and describes it as GRAS-recognized and biodegradable. Samples are available, and it is distributed across a broad international market spanning the Americas, Europe, Australasia, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
