Captain Drake Trisodium Citrate Anhydrous is a tribasic salt of citric acid. it is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with high purity sodium hydroxide or carbonate and subsequent crystallization. Trisodium citrate dihydrate is widely used in foods, beverages and various technical applications mainly as buffering, sequestering or emulsifying agent. trisodium citrate dihy drate occurs as white, granular crystals or as white, crystall ine powder with a pleasant, salty taste. it is slightly deliquescent in moist air, freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol (96 %). Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate is a non-toxic, neutral salt with low reactivity. it 1s chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.

Captain Drake Citric Acid Anhydrous is a natural occurring fruit acid, produced commercially by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate substrate. citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and ph-control agent in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and technical applications. citric acid anhy drous occurs as colorless crystals or as white, crystalline powder with a strongly acidic taste. it is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %) and sparingly soluble in ether. Citric acid anhy drous is non-toxic and has a low reactivity. it is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. citric acid anhydrous is fully biodegradable and can be dis posed of with regular waste or sewage.

Captain Drake Zinc Citrate is available as dihydrate and trihydrate and is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity zing source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. Zinc Citrate is mainly used in dental care products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes and chewing gums due to its anti microbial and anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to reduce or inhibit the formation of dental plaque and tartar. in pharmaceuticals, zinc citrate fights common colds. zing is increasingly used in food supplements, functional foods and beverages. as an organic mineral source it is preferred in many applications over inorganic sources because of its superior bio availability, physiological compatibility and nearly neutral taste compared to other zinc salts. among the organic zinc salts zinc citrate has one of the highest zinc content (31 3%). zing citrate is supplied as a white to almost white powder. it is practically odorless, slightly soluble in water, soluble in diluted acid and practically insoluble in ethanol (96 %). zing citrate has an inverse solubility.

Captain Drake Tri Potassium Citrate is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity potas sium source and subsequent crystallization. Tri Potassium Citrate is used in foods, beverages, and technical applications as buffering, sequestering or emulsifying agent. it usually replaces trisodium citrate whenever a low sodium content is desired. in pharmaceuticals it is used as potassium source and as active ingredient to treat urinary duct stones. when added to oral care products, tri potassium citrate is the active ingredient to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth. ingredient to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth.

Captain Drake Tricalcium Citrate is tri calcium dicitrate tetrahydrate, hereinafter referred to as tricalcium citrate. in some countries such as usa, tri calcium citrate is simply denominated calcium citrate. it is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity calcium source such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. with its high calcium content of 21%, tricalcium citrate is the most economic calcium salt among the commonly used organic calcium salts.
