Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid in nature. Under the background of modern industrial development, the application of artificial citric acid has become more and more widely used, and artificially manufactured citric acid is divided into anhydrous citric acid and anhydrous citric acid depending on whether it contains crystal water. Citric acid monohydrate, let’s introduce the difference from their molecular formulas, properties, and uses!
1. Different molecular formula:
Molecular formula of anhydrous citric acid: C6H8O7
The molecular formula of citric acid monohydrate is: C6H8O7·H2O
2. Different traits:
Anhydrous citric acid: It is a colorless translucent crystal or white granule or white crystalline powder, odorless, very acidic, soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Anhydrous citric acid can be obtained by controlling the appropriate temperature during crystallization.
Citric acid monohydrate: Mainly used in the food and beverage industries as souring agents, flavoring agents, preservatives, and preservatives. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent in chemical industry, cosmetic industry and washing industry.
3. Different uses:
Anhydrous citric acid is mainly used in the food and beverage industries as a sour agent, acidity regulator, flavoring agent, preservative, and preservative. It is also used as antioxidant, plasticizer and detergent in chemical industry, cosmetic industry and washing industry.
