Potassium Citrate Anhydrous is a high-purity potassium salt of citric acid produced without crystal water, offering significantly lower moisture content than the monohydrate grade. With a moisture content of not more than 1.0%, it provides superior storage stability, higher active ingredient concentration, and improved processing performance for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications.
Jiangsu Khonor Chemicals Co., Limited supplies premium-quality Potassium Citrate Anhydrous manufactured under strict quality management systems. The product is available in Food Grade, Pharmaceutical Grade (USP/EP), and Industrial Grade to meet various international market requirements.

Compared with Potassium Citrate Monohydrate, the anhydrous grade contains less than 1.0% moisture, significantly reducing the risk of moisture absorption and caking during storage and transportation.
Without crystal water, every kilogram contains a higher proportion of active potassium citrate, improving formulation efficiency and reducing dosage adjustments.
The low-moisture structure helps maintain product quality during long-term storage, especially in humid environments.
Lower moisture contributes to better powder flow, making it suitable for automatic filling, blending, and tablet manufacturing.
Reduced water content minimizes quality deterioration caused by moisture, helping maintain consistent performance throughout storage.
Potassium Citrate Anhydrous is widely used as:
Acidity regulator
Buffering agent
Emulsifying salt
Stabilizer
Flavor enhancer
Mineral fortifier
Applications include:
Beverages
Dairy products
