Citric acid Anhydrous

Citric Acid Anhydrous – High-Purity Food & Industrial Grade

Citric Acid Anhydrous. Sounds scientific, right? But it’s surprisingly common — quietly doing its job behind the scenes in things you eat, clean with, or even rub on your skin. At first glance, it’s just a white, odourless crystalline powder. But in practice, it’s much more than that.

Pascom supplies premium-grade Citric Acid Anhydrous to manufacturers across Australia, ensuring consistent quality, proper packaging, and smooth delivery — no matter your industry.

So, What Is Citric Acid Anhydrous?

To put it simply, it’s the water-free version of citric acid. Imagine citric acid monohydrate — now remove the water. That’s the anhydrous form. It’s made through fermentation of sugars (usually using a strain of Aspergillus niger, a fancy name for a hardworking little fungus), and what you get is a dry, stable ingredient with an impressively long shelf life.

It’s especially handy in situations where moisture would get in the way — like with powdered beverages, dry mixes, or those fizzy effervescent tablets that dissolve with a satisfying hiss. It’s known for its precision in formulations, particularly when you don’t want any unpredictable water content.

Oh — and in the U.S., it’s often labelled simply as “citric acid (anhydrous).” Same thing.

Where It’s Used (Spoiler: Pretty Much Everywhere)

• Food & Beverage – Acts as a natural preservative and flavour enhancer. You’ve tasted it in soft drinks, sauces, even lollies.

• Pharmaceuticals – Stabiliser, excipient, acidity regulator… if you’ve ever popped a chewable tablet, this might’ve been part of the recipe.

• Cleaning Products – Used in eco-friendly cleaners as a chelating agent and limescale remover.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care – Found in bath bombs, shampoos, facial scrubs — often for pH control or as a gentle exfoliant.

Its high water solubility and stability make it easy to work with and even easier to store long term. Compared to citric acid monohydrate, this one just… lasts longer. No fuss, less moisture, better control.
