FAQs
1.
Is this citric acid anhydrous suitable for food applications?
This product is AR grade and intended for laboratory use only. For food-grade applications, consider food-grade citric acid variants. 2.
What is the shelf life of citric acid anhydrous?
When stored in a cool, dry place in sealed containers, it remains stable for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. 3.
Can this be used as a substitute for citric acid monohydrate?
Yes, but adjustments may be needed due to differences in water content. Anhydrous citric acid is more concentrated by weight. 4.
What precautions should be taken during handling?
Wear gloves and eye protection to avoid skin or eye irritation. Work in a well-ventilated area. 5.
Is this product compatible with metal ions?
Yes, it acts as a chelating agent and can bind metal ions, which is useful in preventing precipitation in solutions.
