Citric Acid Monohydrate is a simple white powder used in a lot of industries. It mixes easily in water and helps with things like flavour, pH balance, and cleaning. You’ll find it in food, drinks, cleaning products, cosmetics, and even medicine.

In Australia, it’s trusted for being safe, effective, and high quality. Whether you’re making food, treating water, or formulating a skincare product, citric acid monohydrate does the job.

What It Is

Citric acid monohydrate is just citric acid with one water molecule added. It’s made through fermentation using things like sugar beets or molasses. It looks like a white crystal and tastes sharply acidic.

People often call it just “citric acid,” but this monohydrate form is easier to handle, especially in dry, powder-based mixes.

Citric acid monohydrate is used in all sorts of industries:

  • Food & Drinks: Adds tartness, preserves freshness, and balances flavours in things like soft drinks, lollies, and sauces.

  • Cleaning Products: Helps remove limescale and boosts cleaning power by binding minerals.

  • Cosmetics: Balances pH in creams, shampoos, and bath products.

  • Pharma: Acts as a stabiliser or base ingredient in tablets and syrups.

  • Water Treatment: Helps adjust pH and bind metal ions in water systems.

It’s plant-based, breaks down easily in the environment, and works well in eco-friendly products.
