Citric Acid Monohydrate

A water-free (anhydrous) acetic acid is known as a Citric Acid Monohydrate. It appears as a clear colorless liquid that is completely miscible with water. It is an excellent polar protic solvent & used frequently as a solvent for recrystallization to purify the organic compounds. Acetic acid is often used as a solvent for reactions that involve carbocations, such as Friedel-Crafts alkylation. It is used as vinegar. Citric Acid Monohydrate is corrosive to metals and tissue. It can injure skin on contact. Used to make other chemicals, as a food additive, and in petroleum production.

Acetic Acid is known as ethanoic acid, It is a colourless liquid organic compound. It’s the most important of the carboxylic acids. A dilute (approximately 5% by volume solution) of acetic acid produced by oxidation & fermentation of natural carbohydrates is known as vinegar. A salt, acylal of acetic acid is called acetate. Acetic acid is produced industrially both by bacterial fermentation & synthetically. Near about 75% of Acetic Acid made by the carbonylation of methanol is used in the chemical industry. It is a synthetic carboxylic acid having antifungal & antibacterial properties.

Citric Acid Monohydrate Structure

Citric Acid Monohydrate is an organic acid that naturally occurs in citrus fruits. It is also known as 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propane-tricarboxylic acid monohydrate. The chemical formula of citric acid monohydrate is C₆H₈O₇·H₂O. Its molecular formula (anhydrous) is C₆H₈O₇ and its molar mass is 210.14 g/mol.

Citric Acid Monohydrate Uses

Pharmaceuticals and Drugs industries

Citric Acid Monohydrate is widely used as a buffering agent in pharmaceutical formulations to stabilize active ingredients and maintain the required pH balance.
It is commonly included in effervescent tablets and powders to improve solubility and enhance the taste of oral medications.
In the healthcare industry, it is used in anticoagulant solutions during blood transfusions to prevent clotting by chelating calcium ions.
Citric Acid Monohydrate is also utilized in topical formulations and cosmetics as a mild acidulant to adjust pH and improve product stability and skin compatibility.

Agrochemicals Industries

Citric Acid Monohydrate is used as a natural chelating agent in agrochemical formulations to enhance the absorption of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and iron in plants.
It is included in biostimulants and foliar sprays to improve nutrient uptake efficiency and overall plant health.
In pesticide formulations, Citric Acid Monohydrate helps in maintaining product stability by adjusting pH levels and improving solubility of active ingredients.
It is also used as a component in organic herbicide solutions, where it aids in weakening plant cell walls and enhancing the effectiveness of desiccation-based weed control.

Food industry

Diluted Citric Acid Monohydrate is widely used in the canning process and as a flavor enhancer for pickles, jams, jellies, and preserved vegetables.
It acts as a natural preservative for livestock feed, grains, and hay by reducing microbial growth and spoilage.
Citric Acid Monohydrate is commonly used as a food additive (E330) to provide a tart, tangy flavor and to maintain the stability and freshness of processed foods and beverages.
It helps inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria like Salmonella in food products such as mayonnaise, sauces, and dairy, thereby extending shelf life and ensuring food safety.

Textiles and Dyes Industries

Citric Acid Monohydrate is used in the textile industry as a pH regulator during fabric dyeing processes to ensure consistent and vibrant coloration.
It serves as an eco-friendly alternative to stronger acids for neutralizing alkaline residues after dyeing and washing treatments.
Textile manufacturers use Citric Acid as a color-fixing agent to improve dye adherence and prevent color bleeding during washing.
It is also used in the treatment of natural fibers like cotton and silk, and in processes involving azoic and disperse dyes to enhance dye uptake and fastness.
Citric Acid is applied in printing and dyeing operations as a mild acidulant, especially in formulations that require resistance to alkali or involve delicate fibers.

Manufacturing Industries

Citric Acid Monohydrate is used as a chelating agent in metal surface treatment processes to remove scale, rust, and other impurities before coating or painting.
It is applied in the cleaning of precision components in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing due to its non-toxic, biodegradable nature.
In the production of synthetic fibers, rubber, and plastics, Citric Acid helps control pH levels and enhances the stability of processing chemicals.
It is used in the formulation of environmentally friendly descaling and degreasing agents for industrial equipment maintenance.
