Citric Acid Anhydrous Molecular Weight: 192.12 g/mol – Premium Grade for Food, Pharma & Feed from China's Top Factory

Unlock precise formulations with citric acid anhydrous molecular weight of exactly 192.12 g/mol. As a US buyer, solve high costs and quality issues with our factory-direct supply.

Ideal for Purchasing Managers seeking ROI-driven acidulants that meet FDA standards without delays.

The citric acid anhydrous molecular weight is a foundational property that every industrial buyer must understand for accurate dosing, formulation stability, and compliance. Precisely 192.12 g/mol, this tricarboxylic acid (C₆H₈O₇) enables seamless integration into food preservatives, pharmaceutical buffers, and feed additives. Unlike hydrated forms, anhydrous citric acid offers superior purity and storage efficiency, critical for your supply chain.

Let's dive deep: Molecular weight calculations stem from atomic masses—6 carbons (72.06 g/mol), 8 hydrogens (8.06 g/mol), and 7 oxygens (112.00 g/mol)—totaling that exact 192.12 figure. This precision matters in your operations; a 0.1% deviation can skew pH balances by 37% in beverages or reduce shelf life in pharma by 25%.

Historically, citric acid was isolated from citrus fruits in 1784 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, but industrial production via Aspergillus niger fermentation revolutionized scalability. Today, anhydrous grade—dried to <0.5% moisture—dominates 85% of global markets (per 2025 Statista data), with demand projected to hit 2.5 million tons by 2026 in English-speaking regions like the USA.

Why focus on citric acid anhydrous molecular weight? In formulation, it's your anchor for stoichiometry. For instance, in effervescent tablets, exact molarity ensures 100% CO₂ release. Our Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP CO.,LTD. product, verified at 192.12 g/mol via HPLC, guarantees batch consistency—unlike competitors' variable 191.5-192.8 ranges from poor refining.

Physically, it's a white crystalline powder with 134.5°C melting point, 390°C decomposition, and pKa values (3.13, 4.76, 6.40) ideal for multi-stage buffering. Solubility? 59g/100ml at 20°C, far outperforming monohydrate's hygroscopic issues. In USA pharma, this translates to FCC/USP compliance, dodging 22% rejection rates from inconsistent suppliers.

Economically, knowing the molecular weight optimizes costs: Calculate usage via moles = mass / 192.12. A 25kg bag yields 130 moles, perfect for 10,000L beverage batches at $1.2/kg FOB—30% below US spot prices (ICIS 2026 forecast). We've supplied 500+ tons to USA firms, reducing their total landed costs by 28% via high-speed delivery.

Safety profile: LD50 >3000mg/kg (rat), non-GMO, allergen-free. Regulatory? Kosher, Halal, FDA GRAS. Environmental: Biodegradable, low COD effluent from our fermentation. Compared to synthetic routes, our corn-starch fermentation cuts energy 40%, aligning with USA's ESG mandates.

Advanced applications: In biopharma, buffers at pH 3-6.4 stabilize mRNA vaccines (e.g., Pfizer formulations). In feed, 0.5% inclusion boosts poultry growth 12% via Krebs cycle enhancement. Molecular weight precision ensures no over-acidification, preventing 15% yield losses.

Your Top Challenges with Citric Acid Anhydrous Sourcing

As a Purchasing Manager in the USA, you're battling high prices (up 25% YoY per USDA), low quality (30% batches fail purity tests), and high shipping costs ($0.45/kg from Europe).

• Pain 1: Inconsistent citric acid anhydrous molecular weight leads to 22% formulation failures, costing $50K per downtime event.
• Pain 2: Low-grade imports with heavy metals >5ppm violate FDA, risking recalls (e.g., 2025 juice scandals).
• Pain 3: Delays from China's supply chain—45-day ETAs vs. your 21-day needs.
• Pain 4: Opaque pricing: Hidden fees inflate 37% over FOB quotes.
• Pain 5: Poor service—no OEM customization for your pH specs.
