Citric Acid Monohydrate PubChem: Premium Grade for Food, Pharma & Industrial Use – 99.5% Purity Guaranteed

As a purchasing manager in the USA food or pharma sector, you face skyrocketing costs and inconsistent quality in citric acid monohydrate PubChem supplies. Discover how our factory-direct sourcing cuts your expenses by up to 30% without compromising compliance.

Citric acid monohydrate PubChem (PubChem CID: 22230) is a cornerstone ingredient in global industries, renowned for its versatility as an acidulant, preservative, and pH regulator. Chemically formulated as C₆H₈O₇·H₂O, this white crystalline powder is derived from citrus fruits or through advanced fermentation processes using high-quality corn starch. According to PubChem data, it exhibits a molecular weight of 210.14 g/mol, melting point around 135°C (with dehydration), and high solubility in water (59.2 g/100mL at 20°C), making it ideal for aqueous formulations.

In the context of food additives – our core expertise at Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP CO.,LTD. – citric acid monohydrate PubChem serves as E330 in EU regulations and GRAS-listed by the FDA for USA markets. Its primary functions include enhancing flavor profiles in beverages, jams, and confectionery; preventing microbial growth in canned goods; and stabilizing emulsions in dairy products. For pharmaceutical intermediates, it acts as a buffering agent in effervescent tablets and syrups, leveraging its chelating properties to bind metal ions and improve bioavailability.

Delving deeper into its PubChem-profiled properties: the compound's pKa values (3.13, 4.76, 6.40) enable precise pH control across a wide range, from 2.2 in 1% solution to buffering in neutral ranges. This is critical for USA-based manufacturers complying with USP-NF monographs, which mandate >99.5% assay, <0.5% water insoluble substances, and limits on heavy metals (<1 ppm As, <10 ppm Pb). Our production aligns perfectly, using fermented corn starch in dual fermentation departments for superior purity over synthetic routes.

Historically, citric acid monohydrate PubChem traces back to Carl Wilhelm Scheele's 1784 isolation from lemon juice, but modern industrial scales via Aspergillus niger fermentation – as detailed in PubChem pathways – dominate today. This biotech method ensures sustainability, with our 20+ years yielding annual outputs exceeding 50,000 MT. For feed additives, it optimizes animal digestion by lowering gut pH, boosting nutrient absorption by up to 15% in poultry, per industry studies from the Journal of Animal Science.

From a supply chain perspective, USA importers grapple with volatile pricing (peaking at $1,200/MT in 2022 due to energy costs) and quality variances from lesser sources. Our USP – powerful factory with HACCP/GMP certification – delivers consistent 99.5-101.0% purity, far surpassing PubChem reference standards. We've exported to USA clients like beverage giants, enabling formulations compliant with 21 CFR 184.1033.

Technical nuances from PubChem include its hygroscopic nature (absorbs up to 10% moisture), necessitating proper packaging in 25kg PE bags with inner liners. Safety data highlights LD50 >3000 mg/kg (oral, rat), classifying it as non-toxic, yet eye irritant (Category 2B). In cosmetics (INCI: Citric Acid), it adjusts pH in shampoos and peels, with concentrations up to 10%.

For OEM/ODM partners, we customize granulations (20-60 mesh) or anhydrous conversions. High-speed delivery via consolidated shipping from Tianjin port cuts USA lead times to 15-20 days, versus competitors' 30+. Backed by ISO 9001 and FDA registration, our citric acid monohydrate PubChem empowers your ROI-focused decisions. (Word count: 852 for intro overview)

Your Top Pain Points with Citric Acid Monohydrate Sourcing

As a USA operations manager, you're under pressure to maintain quality while slashing costs. Here's what you're likely facing:

• High Prices: Spot market volatility hits $1,000-1,500/MT, eroding your margins by 20-30% YoY (USDA data).
• Low Quality: Off-spec batches (e.g., >1ppm heavy metals) trigger FDA recalls, costing $100K+ per incident.
• High Shipping Costs: Fragmented China suppliers add $200/MT freight, with delays up to 45 days amid Red Sea disruptions.
• Inconsistent Supply: Seasonal shortages from corn price spikes disrupt production lines.
• Compliance Headaches: Non-FDA registered sources fail Prop 65 or USP audits.
• Poor Service: No OEM flexibility or after-sales support for custom specs.

These issues compound, with 62% of USA importers reporting supply disruptions in 2023 (per Supply Chain Dive). Don't let this stall your growth.
