Water-Soluble Encapsulated Citric Acid (for Micro-Effervescent / Effervescent Tablets) - Sodium Cit

Product Technical Data Sheet (TDS) - English Version

Product Name: Water-Soluble Encapsulated Citric Acid (for Micro-Effervescent / Effervescent Tablets) - Sodium Citrate Coated

1. Product Description

This product is an anhydrous citric acid processed using special encapsulation technology. Its core consists of high-purity anhydrous citric acid, coated with a water-soluble layer of sodium citrate. This unique structure is designed to reduce the hygroscopicity of citric acid and control its reactivity in solid mixtures, making it particularly suitable for powder application systems sensitive to humidity or requiring controlled acid release, especially for the production of micro-effervescent and effervescent tablets.

2. Performance Characteristics

• Low Hygroscopicity: Significantly reduces the risk of moisture absorption and caking compared to regular anhydrous citric acid.
• Controlled Reactivity: Effectively minimizes undesirable or premature chemical reactions with other ingredients (such as alkaline substances like sodium bicarbonate) during storage and processing, crucial for the stability of effervescence.
• Improved Processing Properties: Reduces stickiness in powder blends, enhances the free-flowing characteristics of the system, facilitating operations like tableting.
• Extended Shelf Life: Helps prolong the shelf life of the final product containing this ingredient (e.g., effervescent tablets) by inhibiting unwanted reactions.
• Excellent Stability: Performs exceptionally well in applications requiring high stability, such as instant beverages and effervescent formulations.
• Water-Soluble Coating: The sodium citrate coating layer is water-soluble, ensuring effective release of citric acid upon contact with water to produce the desired effervescent or acidifying effect.

3. Application Areas
 

• Food & Health Supplements:
  • Effervescent Tablets, Micro-Effervescent Tablets
  • Effervescent Powders/Granules
  • Instant Beverage Powders
  • Confectionery (e.g., Sour Candies, Effervescent Candies)
  • Dry Mixes
• Other Applications:
