Citric Acid Monohydrate

Core Focus: Stable crystal structure, storage and logistics tolerance, balanced sour release, and cost-effective supply for bulk food and general industrial scenarios, highlighting TTCA's large-scale production capacity and universal application adaptability.

Low-Temperature Controlled Crystallization + Stable Crystal Structure for Storage Tolerance

TTCA monohydrate citric acid is produced via constant low-temperature crystallization, forming intact regular rhombic crystals with stable crystal water content controlled at 8.5%–8.8% (enterprise standard centered at 8.62%). The crystal-bound moisture does not migrate under normal temperature and humidity, giving the product 40% lower hygroscopicity than ordinary anhydrous citric acid. It remains loose and free-flowing for 12 months under conventional sealed storage, with no strict low-humidity warehouse requirements, greatly reducing caking risks during bulk storage and transoceanic shipping.

Unlike anhydrous products sensitive to ambient humidity, TTCA monohydrate grade is built for bulk storage and long-haul logistics with consistent batch quality.

Balanced Sour Release & Wide Compatibility for Bulk Food Applications

The crystal water gives the product a mild, gradual sour release profile, delivering a round, soft taste without sharp irritation — blending more harmoniously with fruit flavors and sweeteners in beverages and foods. Its moderate dissolution rate avoids local over-acidity during batching, fitting perfectly into high-volume continuous production lines for beverages, jams and candies. As the most widely used mainstream grade in the food industry, it strikes the optimal balance between acidification performance and procurement cost.

Cost-Effective Bulk Supply with Consistent Batch Quality

With an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons based on non-GMO corn submerged fermentation, TTCA achieves industry-leading sugar conversion rate and production efficiency, ensuring year-round stable supply with low price volatility. Per unit of effective acidity, the overall procurement cost of monohydrate grade is roughly 10% lower than anhydrous grade, making it the preferred choice for high-volume food and industrial customers. Fully automated digital production keeps key indicator fluctuations within 0.1% per batch, guaranteeing formula consistency for long-term mass production.

Universal Adaptability for Food, Industrial & Daily Chemical Scenarios

Regular crystal particles generate low dust during feeding, improving workshop working conditions. Beyond food applications, it is widely compatible with conventional industrial scenarios including household descaling detergents, electroplating buffers, concrete retarders and water treatment pH regulators, delivering stable chelating and acidification performance. It also works for feed acidifiers and agricultural preservation formulas, combining food-grade safety with high cost performance.

Targeted Advantages for Segmented Industries

1. Bulk Beverage & Confectionery Industry

   Ideal for carbonated drinks, fruit juices, jams, hard candies and canned foods. Its mild sour profile enhances natural fruit flavor, and the stable crystal form ensures smooth batching on high-speed production lines. It effectively inhibits microbial growth and extends shelf life, with stable performance under standard pasteurization conditions.

2. Economical Effervescent & Solid Drink Solutions

   For mass-market effervescent products and regular solid beverages, it meets acidity requirements at lower procurement cost. The stable crystal structure reduces caking risks during warehouse turnover and distribution, with lower demands on packaging moisture barrier performance.

3. Conventional Industrial & Daily Chemical Formulations

   Suitable for household descaling agents, laundry detergents, electroplating brighteners and water treatment buffers. It delivers stable chelating effect on calcium and magnesium ions, and offers outstanding cost advantages in high-dose industrial formulations.

4. Feed & Agricultural Applications

   As a feed acidifier, it regulates gastrointestinal pH in livestock and poultry, improves nutrient absorption and inhibits harmful bacteria. It can also be used for fruit and vegetable preservation and agricultural soil pH adjustment, with food-grade safety and reliable supply.

Quality Control & Global Compliance Backing

All production links follow strict food safety management systems, with each batch undergoing full-indicator testing in the central laboratory and accompanied by official COA documents. The product holds ISO9001, ISO22000, Kosher, Halal, FAMI-QS and other certifications, complying with GB, FCC, BP, E330 and other domestic and international standards. With over 30 years of export experience to more than 120 countries and regions, TTCA provides stable supply and complete customs clearance documentation for bulk customers worldwide.
