Isopropyl citrate is an oxo carboxylic acid.
Isopropyl citrate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Isopropyl citrate.
Appearance :Paste
Physical State :Liquid
Appearance
Viscous colorless syrup. Crystallizes upon standing.
Uses
Food additive.
Uses
Isopropyl Citrate is an antioxidant that reacts with metal ions that might catalyze oxidative reactions and thus will prevent rancidity.
Isopropyl Citrate is made by reacting citric acid (not soluble in fats and oils) with isopropyl alcohol (which readily dissolves in oil) and thus enables the citrate to dissolve in oil.
Isopropyl Citrate is used in vegetable oils.
Uses
Isopropyl Citrate is a sequestrant used in fats and oils.
Functions:
1. Acidity Regulator / Buffering Agent - Changes or maintains the acidity or basicity of food/cosmetics.
2. Antioxidant - Reduces oxidation to prevent the formation of free radicals which may be harmful to health.
3. Chelating Agent (Chelants) - Binds to and removes potentially toxic or unwanted metals
4. Flavor / Flavoring / Flavor Enhancer - Provides or enhances a particular taste or smell.
5. Preservative - Prevents and inhibits the growth of unwanted microorganisms which may be harmful
