Dry Citric Acid is a white, crystalline powder with a sour taste. It is odorless, highly soluble in water, and is a naturally occurring organic acid. Widely used as a food preservative, it also adds acidity or sourness to foods and drinks. In dry form, it provides a concentrated, easy-to-store version suitable for numerous applications.
Uses: Dry Citric Acid is frequently used in food and beverage manufacturing as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and acidity regulator. It's also effective as a descaling and cleaning agent in household applications, with the dry form offering a longer shelf life and simpler handling.
Industrial Applications: Outside of food, Citric Acid is used in pharmaceuticals (as an excipient or in effervescent tablets), water treatment (pH control and metal removal), cosmetics (as a pH adjuster and preservative), and plastic manufacturing (as a stabilizer and catalyst).
Safety and Handling: Dry Citric Acid is generally safe but may cause skin or eye irritation in concentrated form. Avoid contact and inhalation. Always use PPE such as gloves and eye protection. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical guidance if irritation continues.
