Citric acid is a weak organic acid naturally found in citrus fruits. It is widely used as an acidulant, preservative, and flavoring agent in the food and pharmaceutical industries.​ In pharmaceutical formulations, citric acid acts as a buffering agent to control pH and enhance the stability of active ingredients. The USP Citric Acid standard ensures the consistency and quality of citric acid used in these applications.The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Application

Citric acid USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:
  • Anhydrous Citric Acid
  • Citric Acid Monohydrate
  • Magnesium Carbonate, Citric Acid, and Potassium Citrate for Oral Solution
  • Monoglyceride Citrate
  • Powdered Garcinia Hydroxycitrate Extract
  • Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Solution
  • Potassium Citrate Extended-Release Tablets
