ADM Citric Acid Anhydrous (020410)
- Molecular Formula
- C₆H₈O₇
ADM Citric Acid Anhydrous (020410) provides important functional benefits across a range of applications, including flavor, tartness, high solubility, buffering capacity, chelation of metals, and antioxidant (preservative) properties. Acidulants offer various functionalities to applications, such as providing tartness and enhancing flavor, as well as extending shelf life by controlling pH, which is a crucial contribution to managing the growth of microorganisms. A 50% citric acid solution can be produced by re-dissolving citric acid anhydrous crystals.
