| General description | Sodium citrate, (molecular formula: Na3C6H5O7 • 2H2O) has molecular weight of 294.1, is a colorless crystal or white crystalline powder product; it is odorless, salty taste, and cool.It will lose its crystal water at 150 °C and will be decomposed at even higher temperature. It also has slight deliquescence in wet air and has weathering property upon hot air. It is soluble in water and glycerol, but insoluble in alcohol and some other organic solvents. Sodium citrate has no toxic effect, and has pH adjusting capability as well as having a good stability, and therefore can be used in the food industry. Sodium citrate has the greatest demand when being used as a food additive; As food additives, it is mainly used as flavoring agents, buffers, emulsifiers, bulking agents, stabilizers and preservatives; in addition, combination between sodium citrate and citric acid can be used in a variety of jams, jelly, juice, drinks, cold drinks, dairy products and pastries gelling agents, flavoring agents and nutritional supplements.
 | | Excellent performance | Sodium citrate is currently the most important citrate. It is produced by two steps: first starch food is fermented to generate citric acid; secondly, citric acid is neutralized by alkali to generate the final products. Sodium citrate has the following excellent performance:
- Safe and nontoxic properties; Since the basic raw material for the preparation of sodium citrate mainly comes from the food, it is absolutely safe and reliable without causing harm to human health. The United Nations Food and Agriculture and the World Health Organization has no restriction in its daily intake, which means that this product can be considered as non-toxic food.
- It is biodegradable. After subjecting to the dilution of a large amount of water, sodium citrate is partially converted into citrate, which coexists with sodium citrate in the same system. Citrate is easy to subject to biological degradation at water by the action of oxygen, heat, light, bacteria and microbes. Its decomposition pathways are generally going through aconitic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid anhydride to be further converted to carbon dioxide and water.
- The ability of forming complex with metal ions. Sodium citrate has a good capability of forming complex with some metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+; for other ions such as Fe2+, it also has a good complex-forming ability.
- Excellent solubility, and the solubility increases with increasing temperature of water.
- It has a good capability for pH adjustment and a good buffering property. Sodium citrate is a weak acid-strong alkali salt; When combined with citrate, they can form a pH buffer with strong compatibility; therefore, this is very useful for some cases in which it is not suitable to have large change of pH value. In addition, sodium citrate also has excellent retardation performance and stability.

| | Chemical Properties | Sodium citrate dihydrate consists of odorless, colorless, monoclinic
crystals, or a white crystalline powder with a cooling, saline taste. It
is slightly deliquescent in moist air, and in warm dry air it is
efflorescent. Although most pharmacopeias specify that sodium
citrate is the dihydrate, the USP 32 states that sodium citrate may be
either the dihydrate or anhydrous material. | | Chemical Properties | white powder or colourless crystals | | Uses | Anticoagulant for collection of blood. In photography; as sequestering agent to remove trace metals; as emulsifier, acidulant and sequestrant in foods. | | Uses | Sodium citrate is chiefly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. | | Uses | An anticoagulant also used as a biological buffer | | Uses | Trisodium citrate dihydrate, is widely applied in food, beverages and fillers as a buffering, sequestering or an emulsifying agent. It used as an anticoagulant in blood transfusions, osmotic laxative, functional fluids, solvents cleaning, furnishing care products, laundry dishwashing products and cleaning automobile radiators. | | Production Methods | Sodium citrate is prepared by adding sodium carbonate to a
solution of citric acid until effervescence ceases. The resulting
solution is filtered and evaporated to dryness. | | Definition | ChEBI: The dihydrate of trisodium citrate. | | General Description | Sodium citrate tribasic dihydrate is the tribasic dihydrate sodium salt of citric acid. | | Pharmaceutical Applications | Sodium citrate, as either the dihydrate or anhydrous material, is
widely used in pharmaceutical formulations.
It is used in food products, primarily to adjust the pH of
solutions. It is also used as a sequestering agent. The anhydrous
material is used in effervescent tablet formulations. Sodium citrate
is additionally used as a blood anticoagulant either alone or in
combination with other citrates such as disodium hydrogen citrate.
Therapeutically, sodium citrate is used to relieve the painful
irritation caused by cystitis, and also to treat dehydration and
acidosis due to diarrhea. | | Biological Activity | Commonly used laboratory reagent | | Biochem/physiol Actions | Sodium citrate can act as a buffering agent, resisting changes in pH. Used in blood collection tubes, the citrate chelates calcium ions in blood and thereby disrupts blood clotting. Citrate is a intermediate in the TCA cycle and fatty acid synthesis. Citrate is an allosteric modulator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the enzyme that regulates the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. | | Safety | After ingestion, sodium citrate is absorbed and metabolized to
bicarbonate. Although it is generally regarded as a nontoxic and
nonirritant excipient, excessive consumption may cause gastrointestinal
discomfort or diarrhea. Therapeutically, in adults, up to
15 g daily of sodium citrate dihydrate may be administered orally, in
divided doses, as an aqueous solution to relieve the painful irritation
caused by cystitis.
Citrates and citric acid enhance intestinal aluminum absorption
in renal patients, which may lead to increased, harmful serum
aluminum levels. It has therefore been suggested that patients with
renal failure taking aluminum compounds to control phosphate
absorption should not be prescribed citrate- or citric acid-containing
products. | | storage | Sodium citrate dihydrate is a stable material. Aqueous solutions
may be sterilized by autoclaving. On storage, aqueous solutions may cause the separation of small, solid particles from glass
containers.
The bulk material should be stored in an airtight container in a
cool, dry place. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the salt from warm water by cooling to 0o. [Beilstein 3 III 1100, 3 IV 1274.] | | Incompatibilities | Aqueous solutions are slightly alkaline and will react with acidic
substances. Alkaloidal salts may be precipitated from their aqueous
or hydro-alcohol solutions. Calcium and strontium salts will cause
precipitation of the corresponding citrates. Other incompatibilities
include bases, reducing agents, and oxidizing agents. | | Regulatory Status | GRAS listed. Accepted for use as a food additive in Europe.
