Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous is the water-free form of citric acid, containing approximately 8.6% more active acid per gram compared to the monohydrate form — a meaningful difference in precise dosing applications. Its lower hygroscopicity at ambient humidity (until it begins to absorb moisture and convert to monohydrate at >75% RH) makes it more stable in dry mixing environments at controlled temperature. The anhydrous form is standard in effervescent tablet systems, dry beverage mix powders, and pharmaceutical solid dosage forms requiring precise acid content control.

Key Benefits
- Higher citric acid content per gram (100% anhydrous vs. 91.4% in monohydrate) — more economical in dosing.
- Lower hygroscopicity than monohydrate at <75% RH — better handling in controlled dry environments.
- Preferred form for effervescent tablet systems and dry powder blend manufacturing.
- Identical flavor and functional profile to monohydrate once dissolved in aqueous matrices.
- Pharmaceutical-grade quality available with complete USP/BP specifications.
