Product Description
Sodium Citrate Dihydrate Food Grade
A multifunctional pH buffer, sequestrant, and emulsifier specifically formulated for dairy and beverage applications. Chemical formula: C₆H₅Na₃O₇·2H₂O
Product Overview
Sodium citrate dihydrate is the sodium salt of citric acid, appearing as white crystalline granules or powder with a salty and slightly sour taste. This safe, efficient, and multifunctional organic acid salt combines pH buffering, metal ion sequestration, emulsification/stabilization, and flavor modification capabilities.
Key Features & Benefits
- Excellent water solubility and biocompatibility
- Non-toxic with mild taste profile
- Effective pH buffer across range 3-6
- Superior metal ion sequestration properties
- Environmentally friendly and readily biodegradable
Core Applications
Food & Beverage Industry
- Acidity Regulator & Buffer (E331): Maintains system stability in jams, jellies, candies, beverages, meat products, and condiments
- Emulsifier & Stabilizer: Prevents oil-water separation in processed cheese, non-dairy cream, and ice cream
- Metal Ion Sequestrant: Chelates iron and copper ions to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life
- Flavor Enhancer: Mitigates harshness and improves overall flavor profile
Pharmaceutical & Personal Care
- Anticoagulant: Key component in ACD blood preservation solutions
- Diuretic & Urine Alkalinizer: Used in medical formulations
- pH Buffer & Stabilizer: For injectable formulations and oral rehydration salts
- Personal Care: pH adjuster and chelating agent in shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste
Industrial Applications
- Detergent Builder: Environmentally friendly phosphate alternative for water softening
- Water Treatment: Component in corrosion and scale inhibitors for boiler and cooling systems
- Metal Treatment: Complexing agent in cyanide-free electroplating baths
Specialized Uses
- Concrete retarder for extended setting times
- Photography fixing bath component
- Textile dyeing mordant and pH regulator
