Description 

A sodium salt of citric acid, typically derived from the neutralization of citric acid with sodium hydroxide, or naturally present in some plant tissues. Highly soluble in water (solubility up to 64.3g/100mL at 20°C) and exhibits excellent chelating properties, capable of binding with metal ions (e.g., calcium, magnesium). Good thermal stability (stable at temperatures below 150°C) and acts as an effective pH buffer, maintaining stable acidity-alkalinity in formulations.

Why Sodium Citrate Matters in Modern Formulations

Sodium Citrate is a multifunctional ingredient recognized for its solubility, buffering ability, and chelating properties. With proven stability and safety, it supports product quality across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.

• Dissolves easily in water for versatile use
• Strong chelating action against metal ions
• Reliable pH buffering to balance formulations
• Thermal stability below 150°C
• Trusted across multiple global industries

Practical Uses Across Industries

• Food & Beverage
  Balances acidity in beverages and canned foods, prevents spoilage, improves texture in meats and dairy, and stabilizes ice cream and cheese.
• Pharmaceuticals
  Acts as an anticoagulant, stabilizes pH in medications, and improves dissolution in effervescent tablets.
• Cosmetics
  Adjusts pH in lotions and shampoos, reduces water-borne irritation in cleansers, and keeps emulsions stable.
• Chemical Industry
  Enhances detergents by sequestering metal ions and maintains balance in electroplating processes.
