Citric acid monohydrate is a cornerstone ingredient in food additives, feed additives, and pharmaceutical intermediates. As Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP CO.,LTD. – a leading manufacturer with over 20 years of expertise – we produce high-purity citric acid monohydrate using advanced fermentation from premium corn starch. Exported to USA, Brazil, Australia, and more, our product meets FDA, USP, and BP standards, ensuring seamless compliance for your operations.

What exactly is citric acid monohydrate? Chemically known as 2-Hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid monohydrate (CAS No: 5949-29-1), it's the hydrated form of citric acid with the molecular formula C6H8O7·H2O. Unlike anhydrous citric acid, the monohydrate version contains one water molecule, making it more stable for humid environments and easier to handle in granulation processes. This crystalline white powder has a purity of 99.5-101.0%, a fine mesh size (8-40 mesh for food grade, 30-100 mesh for pharma), and low impurity levels (<0.0001% heavy metals).

In production, we utilize two dedicated fermentation departments at our Shijiazhuang facility. High-quality corn starch is fermented with Aspergillus niger molds under controlled pH (2.5-3.5) and temperature (30-35°C) for 5-7 days. The broth undergoes decolorization, ion-exchange purification, crystallization, and vacuum drying to yield our premium citric acid monohydrate. This process ensures consistent assay results, with sulfate <150ppm, chloride <50ppm, and oxalate <100ppm – far surpassing industry averages.

Why does citric acid monohydrate matter for your business in 2026? In the USA market, demand surges due to clean-label trends in beverages (35% market share), confectionery (25%), and dairy (15%). It acts as an acidulant, preservative, antioxidant synergist, and flavor enhancer. For instance, in soft drinks, it balances pH to 3.0-4.0, preventing microbial growth while imparting tartness. In pharmaceuticals, it's pivotal for effervescent tablets and syrups, improving bioavailability by 20-30%. Feed applications leverage its chelating properties to enhance mineral absorption in poultry and swine, boosting ROI by 15% per studies from the Journal of Animal Science (2023).

Our citric acid monohydrate stands out with USP-grade specs: loss on drying 8.0-9.0%, residue on ignition <0.1%, and arsenic <0.5ppm. Compared to competitors relying on China's fragmented supply chain, our vertically integrated factory cuts costs by 25-37%. We've exported over 10,000 MT annually to USA ports like Los Angeles and New York, with DDP terms minimizing your duties and logistics headaches. Technical data from our labs (ISO 17025 accredited) confirms batch-to-batch consistency, vital for your QA teams.

LSI terms like food-grade citric acid, pharma-grade monohydrate, bulk citric acid supplier, citric acid crystals, acidulant powder highlight our comprehensive offerings. Long-tail searches such as "buy citric acid monohydrate USA FDA compliant," "wholesale citric acid monohydrate low price," and "OEM citric acid monohydrate packaging" drive targeted traffic. In 2026, with BERT prioritizing intent, our EEAT-optimized content positions us as your trusted partner.
