Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number of citric acid monohydrate?
Citric acid monohydrate is CAS 5949-29-1. It is the form of citric acid crystallised with one molecule of water (C6H8O7·H2O); the water-free form, citric acid anhydrous, carries CAS 77-92-9 and is also in our range.
What is the difference between citric acid monohydrate and citric acid anhydrous?
Monohydrate carries one molecule of water of crystallisation — our COA-backed specification shows 7.5–8.8% water content — while citric acid anhydrous (CAS 77-92-9) is the water-free form. Both are citric acid, the food additive E330, and we stock both in Chennai.
Is citric acid monohydrate food grade, and what is the assay specification?
We supply food/technical grade citric acid monohydrate at 8–40 mesh with an assay of 99.5–100.5% on dried basis, backed by the manufacturer's certificate of analysis (Shandong Ensign). Citric acid is the food additive designated E330.
How should citric acid monohydrate be stored — is it hygroscopic?
Yes, it is hygroscopic. Store it in a cool, dry area below 25°C and keep containers tightly closed; handled this way it holds a 24-month shelf life from manufacture.
Where can I buy citric acid monohydrate in bulk in Chennai?
We stock citric acid monohydrate at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and dispatch across South India, typically ex-stock to 3 working days. Standard packing is 25 kg bags, with 50 kg woven sacks and 1000 kg jumbo bags available.
