Product Description
Sodium citrate, also known as trisodium citrate, is an organic sodium salt. It appears as white to colorless crystals or crystalline powder, odorless, with a cool, slightly salty and mildly tart taste. Chemically stable in air, it is soluble in water and glycerin, but slightly soluble in ethanol. It has multiple excellent properties like safety (derived from food - grade raw materials generally), biodegradability, and pH - regulating ability. Widely used in food industry as acidity regulator, flavor enhancer, stabilizer, etc.; in medical field as anticoagulant, expectorant, and diuretic; also applied in detergent, brewing, electroplating, and photography industries.As a medium component (providing carbon source or regulating pH), applied in microbial fermentation (e.g., antibiotic production).Acts as a pH regulator in skin care products, and serves as a chelating agent in shampoos and toothpastes to prevent ingredient precipitation.

Application
Acidity Regulator Used in beverages (such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices), canned foods, jams, etc., to adjust taste and maintain flavor stability (e.g., buffer systems to prevent excessive acidity).
Stabilizer and Emulsifier Prevents protein coagulation in dairy products (yogurt, ice cream), enhances emulsification in salad dressings, and avoids oil-water separation.
Preservative Synergist Combined with acid preservatives (such as citric acid) to extend the shelf life of foods (e.g., pickled products, baked goods).
Flavor Improver Neutralizes bitterness or astringency (e.g., in olive processing) and enhances saltiness perception (providing taste compensation when reducing sodium content).
Detergent Additive
Substitutes for sodium tripolyphosphate, chelates calcium and magnesium ions in water to enhance detergency (for eco-friendly detergent formulations).
Electroplating and Metal Treatment
As a complexing agent, stabilizes metal ions in electroplating baths to improve coating uniformity (e.g., in copper and nickel electroplating).
Water Softener
Chelates metal ions in industrial circulating water to prevent scale formation.
Tobacco Industry
Added to tobacco sheets to regulate pH and improve combustion properties.
Biotechnology
As a medium component (providing carbon source or regulating pH), applied in microbial fermentation (e.g., antibiotic production).
Cosmetics and Daily Chemicals
Acts as a pH regulator in skin care products, and serves as a chelating agent in shampoos and toothpastes to prevent ingredient precipitation.
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
As a feed additive, adjusts the intestinal pH of animals to promote digestion; used as a preservative in silage feed.
Packaging & Shipping
Environmental Requirements
Should be stored in a cool, dry, well - ventilated place, away from direct sunlight (light - proof). The temperature is recommended to be maintained at normal temperature (around 25ºC is appropriate; for special hydrates, such as dihydrate, refer to the specific recommended temperature range). The humidity should be as low as possible to avoid moisture absorption and deliquescence.
Container Selection
Use corrosion - resistant and well - sealed containers, such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) plastic barrels/bags. Metal containers should be avoided (sodium citrate may react slowly with metals, affecting purity and container stability).
Stacking and Management
When stacking, leave gaps for ventilation; store different batches and different forms (anhydrous/hydrated) separately, and properly label them (indicating the name, batch, shelf - life, etc.) to avoid confusion.
