Citric Acid Monohydrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Asid Sitrik Monohidrat
Citric acid monohydrate supplier for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cleaning and industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also called monohydrate citric acid and asid sitrik monohidrat, this is the hydrated form of citric acid: a white crystalline powder or granules with one molecule of crystal water (CAS 5949-29-1, C6H8O7·H2O).
Commercial grades include food, technical and pharmaceutical material in fine powder or granular mesh. Monohydrate dissolves readily and is commonly selected where the acid is dosed into solution and the crystal water does not matter. For dry blends, effervescent tablets or moisture-sensitive formulas, specify citric acid anhydrous instead.
Food and beverage plants use monohydrate as an acidulant, flavour acid and pH control agent. Pharmaceutical and personal-care formulators use suitable grades for pH adjustment, while cleaning and manufacturing buyers use it for descaling, chelation and process acidity.
Send the required grade, mesh, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about citric acid monohydrate
What is the difference between citric acid monohydrate and anhydrous?
Citric acid monohydrate carries one molecule of crystal water (CAS 5949-29-1). Citric acid anhydrous is the water-free form (CAS 77-92-9). Monohydrate is commonly chosen for solution dosing and many food processes; anhydrous is preferred for dry blends, effervescent tablets and moisture-sensitive formulations. State the required hydrate form in the enquiry.
Is asid sitrik monohidrat the same as citric acid monohydrate?
Yes. Asid sitrik monohidrat is the Malay name for citric acid monohydrate, also searched as monohydrate citric acid. Grade, mesh and specification still need to be stated for a precise quotation. Bare asid sitrik and the general food additive code E330 are covered on the citric acid anhydrous page.
Is food-grade citric acid monohydrate suitable for beverages and confectionery?
Food-grade monohydrate is widely used as an acidulant and flavour acid in soft drinks, juices, confectionery and related products. Suitability depends on the recipe, dosing basis and target specification, so describe the application and any mesh or purity limits when enquiring.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State food, technical or pharmaceutical grade, intended application and any limits for assay, moisture, heavy metals, particle size and documentation. If a formulation is already in production, include the current specification so the requested grade can be matched more closely.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a citric acid monohydrate price enquiry?
Provide the grade, mesh or particle size, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack format, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
