`
`7. Applications in Pharmaceutical Formulation or
`Technology
`Citric acid, as either the monohydrate or anhydrous material,
`is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations and food prod-
`ucts primarily to adjust the pH of solutions. Citric acid mono-
`hydrate is used in the preparation of effervescent granules
`while anhydrous citric acid is widely used in the preparation
`of effervescent tablets. (1)
`In food products, citric acid is used as a flavor enhancer, for
`its tart, acid taste. Citric acid monohydrate is also used as a
`sequestering agent and antioxidant synergist. It is a compo-
`nent of anticoagulant citrate solutions. Therapeutically, prep-
`arations containing citric acid have been used to dissolve renal
`calculi.

`10. Typical Properties
`Acidity/alkalinity:
`pH = 2.2 (1% w/v aqueous solution)
`Dissociation constants:
`pKa( 3.128 at 25°C;
`pKaz: 4.761 at 25°C;
`pKa3: 6.396 at 25°C.
`Density: 1.542 g/cm3
`Heat of combustion:
`-1972 kJ/mol (-471.4 kcal/mol)
`Heat of solution:
`-16.3 kJ/mol (-3.9 kcal/mol) at 25°C
`Hygroscopicity: at relative humidities less than about 65% cit-
`ric acid monohydrate effloresces at 25°C, the anhydrous
`acid being formed at relative humidities less than about
`40%. At relative humidities between about 65-75%, citric
`acid monohydrate absorbs insignificant amounts of mois-
`ture but under more humid conditions substantial amounts
`of water are absorbed.
`Melting point: ~ 100°C (softens at 75°C)
`Particle size distribution: various grades of citric acid mono-
`hydrate with different particle sizes are commercially
`available.
`Solubility: soluble 1 in 1.5 parts of ethanol (95%) and 1 in
`less than 1 part of water; sparingly soluble in ether.
`Viscosity (dynamic): 6.5 rnPa s (6.5 cP) for a 50% w/v aque-
`ous solution at 25°C

`
`11. Stability and Storage Conditions
`Citric acid monohydrate loses water of crystallization in dry
`air or when heated to about 40°C. It is slightly deliquescent
`in moist air. Dilute aqueous solutions of citric acid may fer-
`ment on standing.
`The bulk monohydrate or anhydrous material should be stored
`in airtight containers in a cool, dry, place.
`
`12. Incompatibilities
`Citric acid is incompatible with potassium tartrate, alkali and
`alkaline earth carbonates and bicarbonates, acetates, and sul-
`fides. Incompatibilities also include oxidizing agents, bases,
`reducing agents, and nitrates. Potentially explosive in combi-
`nation with metal nitrates. On storage, sucrose may crystallize
`from syrups in the presence of citric acid. Dilute aqueous
`solutions may ferment on standing.
`
`13. Method of Manufacture
`Citric acid occurs naturally in a number of plant species and
`may be extracted from lemon juice, which contains 5-8% cit-
`ric acid, or pineapple waste. Anhydrous citric acid may also
`be produced industrially by mycological fermentation of crude
`sugar solutions such as molasses, using strains of Aspergillus
`niger. Citric acid is purified by recrystallization; the anhy-
`drous form is obtained from a hot concentrated aqueous so-
`lution and the monohydrate from a cold concentrated aqueous
`solution.
`
`cessive or frequent consumption of citric acid has been asso-
`ciated with erosion of the teeth. (Z)
`Citric acid and citrates also enhance intestinal aluminum ab-
`sorption in renal patients which may lead to increased, harm-
`ful serum aluminum levels. It has therefore been suggested
`that patients with renal failure taking aluminum compounds
`to control phosphate absorption should not be prescribed citric
`acid or citrate-containing products. (3)
`See Section 18 for anhydrous citric acid animal toxicity data.
`
`15. Handling Precautions
`Observe normal precautions appropriate to the circumstances
`and quantity of material handled. Eye protection and gloves
`are recommended. Contact with eyes can cause serious dam-
`age. Citric acid should be handled in a well-ventilated envi-
`ronment or a dust mask should be worn.
`
`16. Regulatory Status
`GRAS listed. The anhydrous form is accepted for use as a
`food additive in Europe. Included in the FDA Inactive Ingre-
`dients Guide (inhalations, IM, IV, and other injections, oph-
`thalmic preparations, oral capsules, solutions, suspensions and
`tablets, topical, and vaginal preparations). Included in non-
`parenteral and parenteral medicines licensed in Japan and the
`UK.

`17. Pharmacopeias
`China, Eur, Jpn, Pol, and US.
`
`14. Safety
`Citric acid is found naturally in the body, mainly in the bones,
`and is commonly consumed as part of a normal diet. Orally
`ingested citric acid is absorbed and is generally regarded as
`a nontoxic material when used as an excipient. However, ex-

`qrate being formed at relative humidities approaching 75%.
`At relative humidities greater than 7 5% substantial
`amounts of water are absorbed by the monohydrate.
