It is widely used in liquid beverages, syrups and food processing where the water does not matter.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/anflointerchem.shop\/product\/citric-acid-anhydrous\/\">Anhydrous<\/a><\/strong> contains no water of crystallisation and is preferred for dry blends, powdered drinks and effervescent tablets, where moisture causes caking or premature reaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To compare prices fairly, convert to the same basis: about 1.094 kg of monohydrate supplies the same acid as 1 kg of anhydrous (molecular weights 210.14 and 192.12).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s4\">Citric Acid Monohydrate Mesh Sizes<\/h2>\n<p>Common Citric Acid Monohydrate mesh sizes in trade include coarse grades around 8\u201340 mesh and finer grades around 30\u2013100 mesh. Coarse crystals flow well and cake less; fine crystals dissolve faster and blend more evenly in dry mixes. Specify the mesh range on your purchase order so each lot behaves the same in your process.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s5\">Citric Acid Monohydrate Export Packaging and Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Standard Citric Acid Monohydrate export packaging is 25 kg multi-wall paper or PP bags with a food-grade PE liner, palletised and stretch-wrapped, or 1,000 kg jumbo bags for large users. Citric acid is not classified as dangerous goods for transport.<\/p>\n<p>The main storage risk is caking. Keep bags sealed, store below about 25\u00b0C and away from humidity, avoid stacking pallets too high, and use stock in date order.
