Description
Citric acid: food additive E330
Citric acid monohydrate is a safe organic acid widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. This odorless crystalline powder has excellent antioxidant, preservative, and acidity-regulating properties.
Citric acid monohydrate is widely used
- in the food industry as an acidity regulator, antioxidant and preservative (E330); to protect fats from spoilage, as a food additive in the confectionery industry, in the production of juices, canned food, etc.
- as a component of buffer solutions;
- in the pharmaceutical industry as a component of many medicines (Na citrate is an anticoagulant);
- as a reagent for removing rust and scale from metal surfaces, during electroetching of copper, in tanning solutions in calico printing, in the production of diazo paper;
- for the production of citric acid esters used as plasticizers, etc.
Food grade citric acid monohydrate (monohydrate) is registered as a food additive E330.
Citric acid (2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy-3-carboxypentanedioic acid) (C6H8O7) is a white crystalline substance, highly soluble in water, soluble in ethyl alcohol, slightly soluble in diethyl ether. Weak tribasic acid. Salts and esters of citric acid are called citrates. The acid itself, as well as its salts (sodium citrate, potassium citrate, calcium citrate, bismuth tripotassium dicitrate), is widely used as a flavoring additive, acidity regulator and preservative in the food industry (food additives E330-E333), for the production of beverages, including fizzy. In the oil and fat industry, citric acid protects products from the decomposing effects of traces of heavy metals contained in them, by forming complex compounds with them. In this way, the likelihood of rancidity of fats, margarines and animal oils is significantly reduced.
