Potassium Citrate Monohydrate

$7.00

Food-Grade Buffering & Stabilising Agent

Catalog Number: ASC-1050

Overview

Potassium Citrate Monohydrate is a high-purity food-grade potassium salt of citric acid, supplied as a white, odourless, crystalline powder. It is highly soluble in water and glycerin and is widely used as a buffering agent, acidity regulator, stabiliser, and sequestrant in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and industrial formulations.

Due to its excellent solubility, neutral taste profile, and reliable pH-adjusting properties, Potassium Citrate Monohydrate is a preferred ingredient in formulations requiring controlled alkalinity and mineral balance.

Ausamics Potassium Citrate Monohydrate is manufactured under controlled quality systems to ensure consistent purity, particle quality, and batch-to-batch reproducibility.
