We offer sodium citrate which is a sodium salt of citric acid with the chemical formula of Na3C6H5O7. It is also known as sour salt due to having a mild saline flavour. Our range of sodium citrate is widely used in food and beverage industry as preservatives and flavoring agent and also in detergent and pharmaceutical industries
Applications
FOOD
Sodium citrate is chiefly used as a food additive E331, usually for flavor or as a preservative. Sodium citrate is employed as a flavoring agent in certain varieties of club soda. Sodium citrate is common as an ingredient in Bratwurst, lemon-lime and citrus soft drinks, such as Ting, Chinotto, and some Ocean Spray juices, contributing to their tart tastes, and can also be found in such energy drinks as Rockstar and Red Bull.
BUFFER
As a conjugate base of a weak acid, citrate can perform as a buffering agent or acidity regulator, resisting changes in pH. Sodium citrate is used to control acidity in some substances, such as gelatin desserts. It can be found in the mini milk containers used with coffee machines. The compound is the product of antacids, such as Alka-Seltzer, when they are dissolved in water.
