Citric acid monohydrate
Citric acid monohydrate has important applications in many fields.

Food field
In the food industry, citric acid monohydrate plays a key role. Because of its unique sour taste, it is often used as a sour taste agent. In various beverages, whether it is carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, or functional drinks, citric acid monohydrate can adjust the acidity of the drink, give it a fresh and refreshing taste, and improve the taste. In the production of jams, jellies and other foods, it can not only adjust the acidity, but also complex with metal ions to prevent the food from browning, prolong the shelf life, and maintain the color and quality of the food.

Pharmaceutical field
In medicine, citric acid monohydrate is widely used. It can be used as a medicinal excipient in tablets, capsules and other preparations. In the production of tablets, it can improve the disintegration performance of tablets, promote the rapid disintegration of drugs in the body, thereby accelerating the dissolution and absorption of drugs, and improving the efficacy of drugs. In some liquid preparations, as a pH regulator, the preparation maintains a suitable pH, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of drugs. In addition, in some pharmaceutical production processes, citric acid monohydrate can also be used to remove metal impurities and play a role in purifying drugs.

Industrial field
In the industrial field, citric acid monohydrate also has many uses. In the electroplating industry, it can be used as a complexing agent to form a stable complex with metal ions, which helps to improve the quality of the electroplating layer, making the coating more uniform and dense, and improving the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of metal products. In the detergent industry, citric acid monohydrate, as an auxiliary agent, can form soluble complexes with calcium and magnesium ions in water, play a role in softening water, enhance the detergent's decontamination ability, and at the same time reduce the residue of scale on clothing and utensils. In the printing and dyeing industry, it can adjust the pH value of the dye solution, affect the dyeing rate and dyeing rate of the dye, optimize the dyeing effect, and ensure uniform and firm dyeing.
