About Tri Sodium Citrate
Tri Sodium Citrate (a.k.a. sodium citrate) is a compound derived from citric acid and sodium hydroxide. It is a highly soluble, white crystalline powder or granule commonly used as an acidulant in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. Its primary uses include pH regulation, preservation, and imparting a tart taste to various mass-produced products. The manufacture of Tri-Sodium Citrate involves neutralizing citric acid with sodium hydroxide, followed by processing, purification, and drying to achieve the desired quality and mesh size.
In the food industry, it is used as an acidity regulator, emulsifier, and preservative in confectionery, sauces, and processed meats. In the beverage industry, it is a buffering agent in soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, ensuring consistent taste and stability. The pharmaceutical industry uses Trisodium Citrate in oral medications, syrups, and effervescent tablets. Cosmetics use it in skincare and hair care products, enhancing formulation stability and effectiveness. Industrial applications include its use as a cleaning agent, water treatment chemical, and metal chelating agent, valuable for removing metal ions and preventing scale formation.
