What are citrates?
Citrates are salts of citric acid. They are widely used in formulations where pH control, buffering capacity, stability or mineral compatibility are important.
Depending on the application, different citrate salts can be used to support processing, product performance and formulation requirements.
Which citrate salts does Citribel manufacture?
Citribel manufactures monosodium citrate and trisodium citrate. These citrate salts are produced in Belgium and are available for a range of industrial, food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and personal care applications.
What is monosodium citrate used for?
Monosodium citrate is used in applications where controlled acidity, buffering and formulation stability are required. It can be used in selected food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and technical applications.
In polymer processing, monosodium citrate can also be used as an endothermic chemical blowing agent in selected thermoplastics.
What is trisodium citrate used for?
Trisodium citrate is commonly used as a buffering agent, pH regulator and stabilising ingredient in various formulations. It is used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical-related applications, nutraceuticals, personal care and industrial processes.
What is the difference between monosodium citrate and trisodium citrate?
Monosodium citrate and trisodium citrate differ in their sodium content and acid-base profile. Monosodium citrate is more acidic, while trisodium citrate has a higher buffering capacity and is often selected when pH adjustment and stability are important.
The right choice depends on the required pH range, formulation type, processing conditions and end application.
In which industries are citrates used?
Citrates are used across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, animal nutrition and industrial markets. They are commonly applied for buffering, pH regulation, chelation, stability and processing support.
Can Citribel supply citrates in bulk quantities?
Yes. Citribel supplies citrate salts for B2B customers and large-scale production needs. Packaging options depend on the specific product, grade and customer requirements.
How can I request a citrate sample or quote?
You can request a sample or ask for a quote directly via the buttons on the citrate product pages, or by contacting Citribel through the contact form on the website.
