Description

General description

Citric acid monohydrate is an organic acid. Its molar enthalpy of solution in water has been reported to be Δ_solH_m (298.15K, m = 0.0203molkg^-1) = (29061 ± 123)Jmol^-1

Application

Citric acid monohydrate may be used in the diltiazem hydrochloride (drug) and melt extruded Eudragit RS PO (polymer) formulations. It improves the solubility of drug in the polymer matrix. It may be used to prepare citrate buffer for use in the intravital microscopic studies of adhesion and aggregation of platelets.

Packaging
