What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Citric acid

✅ CITRIC ACID (CAS 77-92-9) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Citric Acid (CAS 77-92-9) is a weak organic acid that naturally occurs in citrus fruits and is widely used in various industries including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. It serves as a flavoring agent, preservative, and pH stabilizer in the food industry and is commonly found in carbonated drinks, fruit juices, and candy products. In pharmaceuticals, Citric Acid is used as a buffering agent, excipients, and in the preparation of citric acid salts like calcium citrate. Citric Acid is also widely used in industrial cleaning products, as a chelating agent, and in the cosmetic industry for its exfoliating properties. This white crystalline powder is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/BP/USP/EP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets, capsules, and topical applications. We supply Citric Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, food producers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
