SexQuality and Stability
White crystalline particles or powder. Soluble in water, hardly soluble in alcohol, the pH of the aqueous solution is about 8. Odorless, with a cool and salty taste. Stable in air.
Storage method
This product should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from light.
Synthesis method
It is obtained by neutralizing citric acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate. Dissolve sodium bicarbonate in water under stirring and heating, add citric acid, continue to raise the temperature to 85-90°C, and adjust the pH to 6.8. Add activated carbon to decolorize and filter while hot. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and crystallized after cooling. Filter, wash and dry to obtain sodium citrate.
Purpose
This product is used as a seasoning and stabilizer in food processing, as a buffer and secondary complexing agent in the non-toxic electroplating industry, as an anticoagulant, expectorant and diuretic in the pharmaceutical industry, and in brewing, injections, and pharmaceuticals. Film drugs, etc.
