Choosing the Right Citric Acid: Monohydrate vs. Anhydrous
| Feature | Monohydrate Citric Acid | Anhydrous Citric Acid |
| Chemical Formula | C₆H₈O₇·H₂O | C₆H₈O₇ |
| Typical Purity | ≥ 99.5% | ≥ 99.5% |
| Key Difference | Contains 7.5-8.8% crystallized water | No crystallized water, very low moisture content |
| Main Applications | Common choice for beverages, jams, candies, frozen foods, general chemical use | Critical in powdered beverages, solid seasonings, pharmaceuticals, high-end cosmetics, moisture-sensitive reactions |
| Packaging & Storage | Store in dry conditions to prevent clumping | Highly sensitive to moisture, requires moisture-proof packaging and storage |
| When to Choose | Best for general food acidification and preservation needs, cost-effective with stable supply | Choose when precise moisture control is needed or if the final product is in powder form |
If your formulation requires moisture-free content, we recommend Anhydrous Citric Acid.
