Sodium citrate is non-toxic with PH adjustment properties and good stability. Since the raw material for preparing sodium citrate basically comes from grain, it will not cause harm to human health. So it has a wide range of uses in our daily life.
1. Sodium citrate is mainly used as a food additive, and can also be used as a flavoring agent, a bulking agent, a stabilizer, a buffer, and an emulsifier.
2. Sodium citrate is compatible with citric acid and is used as a gelling agent, nutritional supplement and flavoring agent for various jams, jelly, fruit juice, beverages, cold drinks, dairy products and cakes.
3. In the construction industry, sodium citrate can be added as a retarder when making concrete, which can improve the frost resistance, compression resistance and tensile properties of cement products.
4. The properties of sodium citrate can be added to detergents to improve the decontamination effect, so sodium citrate has been widely used in the manufacture of phosphorus-free laundry detergents and liquid detergents.
