Citric acid anydrous CAS 77-92-9 Citric acid monohydrate CAS 5949-29-1 is organic acids in the first big acid, as a result of the performance of physical properties, chemical properties, derivatives, mainly used in food and beverage industry as sour agent, flavouring agent, preservative and antistaling agent. Also in the chemical industry, cosmetic industry and washing industry used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent, etc. It is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical industry such as the most important organic acids.
Citric acid can exist either in an anhydrous (water-free) form or as a monohydrate.The anhydrous form crystallizes from hot water, while the monohydrate forms when citric acid is crystallized from cold water. The monohydrate can be converted to the anhydrous form at c. 78 °C. Citric acid also dissolves in absolute (anhydrous) ethanol (76 parts of citric acid per 100 parts of ethanol) at 15 °C. It decomposes with loss of carbon dioxide above ca. 175 °C.
