What Is Citric Acid Monohydrate?

Citric acid monohydrate, CAS 5949-29-1, is the hydrated crystal form of citric acid. It is the most common acidulant in beverages, confectionery and jams, and is used for pH adjustment, citrate production and cleaning formulations.

The grade has assay 99.5–100.5%, with limits on water and inorganic impurities. Its formula weight includes one water molecule, so recipes must allow for this when switching from the anhydrous form.

It is not regulated as dangerous goods. Food use requires a grade and documents that meet the rules of the destination market.

As a citric acid monohydrate supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the white crystals in 25 kg woven bags. Lead time is about 14 days from order confirmation.
