MEDIOCON INC offers Citric Acid, a widely used organic acid and food ingredient used as an acidulant, acidity regulator, sequestrant and flavouring agent across food, beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical-related applications.
Citric Acid is naturally present in citrus fruits and is commercially produced through fermentation of carbohydrate-based raw materials. JECFA identifies Citric Acid as INS 330 and specifies both anhydrous and monohydrate forms.
Citric Acid is supplied commercially in crystalline form and is highly soluble in water. It provides a clean acidic taste and is widely incorporated into beverages, confectionery, processed foods, pharmaceutical formulations, nutraceutical products and other industrial applications.
Citric Acid is a tricarboxylic organic acid with the chemical name 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylic acid.
It is commercially available primarily in two forms:
The anhydrous form has CAS 77-92-9, molecular formula C₆H₈O₇ and molecular weight 192.13 g/mol. The monohydrate form has CAS 5949-29-1, molecular formula C₆H₈O₇·H₂O and molecular weight 210.14 g/mol.
Citric Acid is used as:
Provides acidity and tartness to food and beverage products.
Helps control and maintain the desired acidity/pH of formulations.
Can bind certain metal ions and help improve formulation stability.
Provides a characteristic acidic/tart taste and can enhance flavour profiles.
JECFA identifies citric acid as an antioxidant synergist in food applications.
Citric Acid may be used in:
Codex materials identify INS 330 Citric Acid in numerous food categories and recognize its use as an acidity regulator under applicable conditions.
MEDIOCON INC can support commercial sourcing requirements with available technical and quality documentation, subject to the selected grade and supplier documentation.
Typical documentation may include:
Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment in tightly closed packaging.
Protect the material from:
Because Citric Acid can absorb moisture, appropriate moisture-protective packaging should be used.
Available packaging should be confirmed according to:
Citric Acid is identified internationally as INS 330. JECFA's specification provides an assay requirement of 99.5–100.5% on an anhydrous basis.
Codex GSFA materials include Citric Acid (INS 330) among permitted food additives for specified food categories and applications. Actual permitted levels depend on the specific food category and applicable national regulations.
Citric Acid is a versatile multifunctional ingredient offering acidity control, tartness, sequestration and formulation-support properties. Its excellent water solubility and broad food-industry use make it an important raw material for beverage, confectionery, nutraceutical and food-processing applications.
MEDIOCON INC supports customers looking for high-quality Citric Acid with suitable technical, quality and regulatory documentation.
