Citrc Acid

Citric Acid is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits and produced industrially through fermentation. In pharmacy, it is the most widely utilized Acidifying Agent. It plays a dual role: serving as an Effervescent Agent when combined with carbonates or bicarbonates, and acting as a Chelating Agent to enhance product stability. Its pleasant tart flavor also makes it an excellent taste-masking agent for bitter medications.

The product conforms to the specified requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or British Pharmacopoeia (BP).
A detailed CoA is issued with every batch, outlining potency, purity profile, and microbiological testing verification.
A comprehensive Drug Master File is available to support registration submissions to regulatory authorities worldwide.
Production takes place in certified facilities that strictly adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
Functional Category:
Effervescent agent, pH modifier, Chelating agent, and Flavor enhancer.
Chemical Formula:
(Anhydrous).
Appearance:
Colorless crystals or white crystalline powder with a strong acidic taste.
Solubility:
Very soluble in water; freely soluble in ethanol.
Effervescent Tablets & Granules

Analgesics, Vitamin supplements, and Electrolytes.

Reacts instantly with bicarbonates upon contact with water to release CO 2, accelerating drug dissolution.

Syrups & Oral Liquids

Cough syrups and liquid antibiotics.

Acts as a buffer to stabilize the API and masks the unpleasant metallic or bitter taste of drugs.

Parenteral & Dialysis

Anticoagulant solutions (e.g., Sodium Citrate).

Used in precise concentrations to adjust the pH of intravenous fluids, ensuring biocompatibility.

Topical Creams & Ointments

Skincare and dermatological treatments.

Adjusts the pH of the formulation to match the natural acidic mantle of the skin and acts as a mild preservative.

Regulatory Compliance

The product fully complies with the requirements specified in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and/or food standards (FCC).

Particle Size Distribution

Available in Granular grades to reduce dust and improve flow during tableting, and Fine grades for rapid solubility in liquid formulations.

Chelating Efficiency

High capacity for binding heavy metal ions, which prevents the oxidation and degradation of sensitive active ingredients.

Purity Control

Strict limits on oxalates, sulfates, and heavy metals to ensure the highest safety profile for human consumption.
