Product Description
Citric Acid Esters, also known as Citric Acid Esters of Mono- and Diglycerides (CITREM), are versatile, high-performance food-grade emulsifiers widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Manufactured to the highest quality standards, our citric acid esters offer exceptional emulsifying, stabilizing, and dispersing properties, making them ideal for improving texture, consistency, and shelf stability in a wide range of formulations.
Perfectly suited for use in bakery products, margarine, dairy alternatives, sauces, dressings, and non-dairy creamers, citric acid esters enhance product uniformity and prevent ingredient separation. They also contribute to better aeration and volume in baked goods, while improving digestive tolerance in specialized nutritional applications.
As a clean-label emulsifier, Citric Acid Esters meet global food safety regulations and are an excellent alternative to synthetic additives, catering to the growing demand for natural and functional ingredients in modern food processing
Exceptional Versatility Across Industries
Citric acid esters serve multiple sectors as food additives, pharmaceutical excipients, cosmetic carriers, and plasticizers. Their ability to emulsify, stabilize, and improve product texture makes them indispensable in manufacturing high-quality formulations. They are suitable for food, pharma, and industrial applications.
High Standards of Quality and Safety
Produced from premium citric acid and alcohols, these esters meet stringent quality criteria, including compliance with FCC, EU, and USP benchmarks. With heavy metal content below 10 ppm and low microbial counts, purity and safety are assured for sensitive applications.
Convenient Storage and Packaging Solutions
Product stability is maximized with a shelf life of two years when stored in dry, cool, well-ventilated areas away from sunlight. Packaging is typically provided in 25 kg bags but can be adapted on request, ensuring suitability for diverse scale requirements.
FAQ's of Citric acid esters:
Q: How should citric acid esters be stored to maintain their quality?
A: Citric acid esters should be kept in a dry, cool, well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures maximum stability and preserves the product's shelf life of two years.Q: What are the primary uses of citric acid esters?
A: These esters are used as emulsifiers and stabilizers in foods, plasticizers in pharmaceuticals, solvents in cosmetics, and additives in various industrial products due to their neutral pH, safety, and versatility.Q: Where are citric acid esters typically applied in the food and pharmaceutical industries?
A: In foods, they act as emulsifiers and stabilizers, enhancing texture and shelf-life. In pharmaceuticals, they serve as plasticizers in capsules and tablet coatings, ensuring product flexibility and integrity.Q: What benefits do citric acid esters offer compared to other additives?
A: Citric acid esters provide a neutral or slightly acidic, odorless taste, excellent safety (GRAS status), compliance with major standards, high purity, and adaptability for various formulations, benefiting both manufacturers and end-users.Q: How is the quality of citric acid esters ensured during production?
A: Quality is maintained by adhering to FCC, EU, and USP standards, using high-purity raw materials, and strict control of heavy metal content and microbial counts. Each batch is laboratory tested for compliance.Q: What is the process for using citric acid esters as an emulsifier in foods?
A: Citric acid esters are blended into food formulations at optimal concentrations, where they help blend oil and water phases, stabilize textures, and prevent separation throughout shelf life.Tell us about your requirement
