Why Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate matters
Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate is important in both food and pharmaceutical industries due to its ability to stabilise formulations and enhance shelf life. Its properties make it a key ingredient in various products that require pH control.
What is Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate?
Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, with the CAS number 6132-04-3, is the sodium salt of citric acid. It is formed when three sodium ions replace the three protons of citric acid, resulting in a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Its buffering capacity makes it useful in maintaining stable pH levels in solutions. As a chelating agent, Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate has the ability to bind with metal ions, which enhances its utility in pharmaceuticals and food preservation. It is often found in formulations where controlled acidity is crucial for product stability and efficacy.
