Product Description

• Sodium citrate is a versatile compound with wide-ranging applications across various industries:

  1. Food and Beverage Industry

• Acid Regulator/Buffering Agent: It maintains pH balance in processed foods and beverages, preventing excessive acidity or alkalinity. For example, it stabilizes the pH in carbonated drinks, juices, and dairy products like yogurt.
• Emulsifier and Sequestrant: It enhances the texture and stability of emulsions (e.g., salad dressings, processed meats) by binding metal ions that might cause spoilage or texture degradation.
• Preservative: In canned foods, jams, and preserves, it inhibits microbial growth and extends shelf life.
• Flavor Enhancer: It adds a mild, refreshing sourness to snacks, seasonings, and confectionery.

• 2. Healthcare

• Anticoagulant in Blood Products: Sodium citrate binds calcium ions in blood, preventing clotting during blood collection and storage.
• Alkalizing Agent: It neutralizes excess stomach acid in antacid medications or regulates urinary pH to treat kidney stone conditions.
• Excipient: Used as a binder, stabilizer, or flavoring agent in tablets, syrups, and oral solutions.

• 3. Cosmetics and Personal Care

• pH Adjuster: It balances the pH of skincare products (e.g., creams, lotions, shampoos) to ensure compatibility with the skin's natural barrier.
• Chelating Agent: In hair care products, it removes mineral deposits from hard water, improving the effectiveness of shampoos and conditioners.
• Preservative: Enhances the shelf life of aqueous cosmetic formulations by inhibiting microbial growth.

• 4. Industrial and Technical Applications

• Water Treatment: As a chelating agent, it removes metal ions (e.g., calcium, iron) from industrial water systems, preventing scale buildup and corrosion.
• Metal Cleaning and Surface Treatment: Used in cleaning agents and electroplating baths to dissolve metal oxides and improve surface adhesion.
• Textile Industry: Assists in dyeing processes by stabilizing dye solutions and improving color fastness.
• Fire Extinguishers: In some formulations, it acts as a component in dry chemical or water-based fire suppression agents.

• 5. Laboratory and Research

• Biochemical Buffer: Maintains stable pH in biological experiments, such as cell culture media or enzyme assays.
• Reagent in Analytical Chemistry: Used in titration reactions or as a standard solution for chemical analysis.

• Safety Considerations

  Sodium citrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies like the FDA when used in foodapplications within approved limits. However, direct contact with concentrated solutions may cause skin or eye irritation, and excessive ingestion (in very high doses) could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Always adhere to industry-specific safety guidelines and dosage recommendations.
