Quality Control

Our Trisodiumhydroxycitrate is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer grades suitable for food, dietary supplement, and technical applications, with quality assurance protocols aligned with industry standards such as FCC and relevant pharmacopoeial guidelines where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee specification compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and caking.
