The main application of Citric Acid Anhydrous

In foods such as dressings, sauces, juices and jams, anhydrous citric acid imparts a clean, sour flavor and acidity to enhance taste. Its antioxidant properties also help preserve freshness and prevent oxidation of photosensitive vitamins.
Anhydrous citric acid uses in carbonated beverages to impart a refreshing sour taste. It interacts with flavor compounds to enhance taste and acts as an acidulant. Adjusted acidity improves drinkability.
In baking, anhydrous citric acid improves dough handling and gas retention. It acts as a leavening regulator for optimum leavening of baked goods such as cakes, bread, and biscuits.
Anhydrous citric acid adjusts and buffers pH levels in cosmetics such as shampoos, sunscreens, and facial treatments. It provides stability in aqueous environments against hydrolysis and microbial growth.
Anhydrous citric acid is used as a feed acidifier and granule binder in animal nutrition, which is beneficial to nutrient absorption and improves feed conversion rate.
In pharmaceutical formulations, anhydrous citric acid can adjust drug solubility to enhance bioavailability, mask bitter taste, and serve as a controlled-release tablet disintegrant.
