Sodium Citrate (Trisodium Citrate, E331) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Trisodium Citrate
- E331
- TSC
- Citrosodine
Sodium citrate supplier for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cleaning and formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also called trisodium citrate, TSC, citrosodine, sodium citrate tribasic and food additive E331, this white crystalline powder is selected for buffering, acidity regulation, emulsifying salts and mild chelation.
Commercial grades cover dihydrate and anhydrous forms in food, pharmaceutical and technical quality. Dihydrate is the usual choice for beverages, processed cheese and many pharmaceutical buffers, while anhydrous material suits dry blends where crystal water would affect assay or shelf life. Send the form and grade stated on your specification with the enquiry.
Food and beverage manufacturers use sodium citrate to control pH, support a mild saline-citrus flavour note and stabilise protein systems in emulsifying salts. Pharmaceutical formulators use suitable grades for buffering and calcium-binding duty. Cleaning and personal-care formulators value it as a phosphate-free softener or pH-adjusting citrate salt.

Common questions about sodium citrate
Are sodium citrate and trisodium citrate the same product?
Yes. Sodium citrate is the common procurement name for trisodium citrate, also written as TSC, citrosodine or sodium citrate tribasic and registered as food additive E331. State dihydrate or anhydrous form and the required grade in the enquiry, because those details affect dosing and documentation.
Should I request dihydrate or anhydrous sodium citrate?
Dihydrate is the form most often specified for food, beverage and many pharmaceutical uses. Anhydrous material is preferred in dry blends or moisture-sensitive work where crystal water would change assay on a wet basis. Send the form stated on your specification if you already have one.
What is E331 and how does it relate to this page?
E331 is the food-additive code for sodium citrates. Buyers sourcing food or beverage material should still state the required form, purity limits and any documentation needed for their quality system, because E331 alone does not define every commercial grade.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State dihydrate or anhydrous form, grade, assay or monograph where relevant, quantity, application and delivery location. Include limits for moisture, heavy metals or other critical parameters when they are fixed by your process so the quotation can be matched more closely.
Is sodium citrate suitable for processed cheese and beverages?
Food-grade sodium citrate is widely used as an emulsifying salt in processed cheese and as an acidity regulator in beverages. Suitability still depends on recipe, process conditions and the exact grade, so describe the application and performance target when enquiring.
What packing and documents can be requested?
List the preferred pack format and the product documents your quality system needs. Available packing, specification sheets and other documentation for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation.
How is sodium citrate priced?
Price depends on form, grade, specification, quantity, packing and delivery requirement. Send those details for a current quotation with a stated validity period.
