TRISODIUM CITRATE BP - A VERSATILE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT
Trisodium Citrate, often referred to as Sodium Citrate, is a widely used ingredient valued for its buffering, stabilising, and chelating properties. It is on of the three sodium salts of citric acid and has a mildly salty, slightly tart taste. Trisodium Citrate functions as a mild alkali and plays an important role across the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors.
What is Trisodium Citrate BP?
Trisodium Citrate BP is a buffering agent and acidity regulator derived from citric acid. In food and beverage applications, it is primarily used to control pH, stabilise formulations, bind metal ions, and improved processing performance.
Applications in the Food and Beverage Industry
In food and beverage processing, Sodium Citrate is used as a:
* Flavouring and flavour-balancing agent.
* Stabilising agent.
* Buffering and pH-control agent.
* Chelating agent (binding metal ions).
* Emulsifying agent, especially in dairy systems.
* Nutritional supplement, particularly in buttermilk and dairy-based products.
Common applications include:
* Beverages,
* Dairh products (including processed cheese, cultured dairy, and buttermilk),
* Jams, jellies, and fruit preparations,
* Confectionery and desserts.
Key Benefits of Trisodium Citrate BP
* Acidity Regulator: Maintains optimal pH for flavour, stability, and processing.
* Flavour Enhancement: Balances sweetness and acidity.
* Emulsification Support: Improves texture and mouthfeel.
* Chelation: Bind metal ions to improve product stability.
* Formulation Consistency: Ensures batch-to-batch uniformity.
Storage & Usage
* Store in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture.
* Once opened, reseal bags or transfer contents to a moisture-proof container.
* Dosage levels depends on application and should be determined during formulation trails.
Safety & Regulatory Status
Trisodium Citrate BP is generally recognised as safe (GRAS) for food use when applied according to good manufacturing practice and applicable food regulations. It has a long history of safe use across multiple industries.
Product Information
Trisodium Citrate BP is Halaal & Kosher certified and supplied in 25 kg bags. Its multi-functional nature makes it a valuable ingredient for manufacturers seeking pH control, formulation stability, and improved processing performance.
