1.What is Magnesium Citrate?

Magnesium citrate is a type of magnesium bound to citric acid. This acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits and gives them their sour flavor. Artificially produced citric acid is commonly used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in the food industry. Magnesium citrate is one of the most common magnesium formulas, and some studies have shown that this type of magnesium is one of the most bioavailable forms, meaning that it is more easily absorbed in the digestive tract than other forms. White crystalline powder or granule. Odorless. Soluble in dilute acid, slightly soluble in water. Citric acid and its potassium or sodium salt can increase its solubility.  Uses: Food additive. Analytical reagent. Pharmaceutical industry. Solubility: Soluble in dilute acid, slightly soluble in water. Storage: Sealed and preserved

2.How is Magnesium Citrate produced?

Ingredients Citric acid monohydrate Magnesium hydroxide Deionized water 1. Check the equipment to make sure it is normal, the pipeline is smooth and the discharge valve is closed. 2. Put 50L of deionized water into the chemical kettle, and turn on the stirring; 3. 3. After warming up to 50 ° C, to the kettle in order to put - - water citric acid 20Kg, magnesium hydroxide 8.2 Kg. 4. Continue to raise the temperature (not more than 80 ° C ), until all the raw materials are dissolved, the reaction liquid becomes clear, and then immediately begin to pass the plate After the reaction solution becomes clear, immediately start to filter it through the plate and frame, and put it into the reaction kettle. 5. Keep 80°C in the reaction kettle and continue to react for 3 hours. 6. After the reaction, lower the temperature to 26°C and centrifuge. 7. Centrifugation can be done with a small amount of water.

3.How is Magnesium Citrate stored and distributed?

1. Food grade should be transported and stored according to food hygiene requirements. Avoid mixing and transporting, and load and unload lightly when handling to prevent damage to the package. 2. Precautions for safe operation: In places where dust is generated, provide suitable exhaust equipment. General fire protection measures. 3. Storage conditions:Keep sealed and keep away from light Temperature conditions:Room temperature 4. Moisture-proofing:To avoid the bag from breaking, to avoid its moisture and rain, so as to ensure that its properties will not change. To avoid unnecessary losses. 5. Anti-temperature: when under the influence of high temperature, performance, properties will be more or less affected, therefore, in the storage must avoid high temperature. 6. Fire prevention: When storing, pay special attention to fire prevention.

4.What is Magnesium Citrate used for?

As a food additive, it serves many functions. These include flavoring agents (giving a sour taste to carbonated beverages, juice drinks, and dessert foods), preservatives (preventing the growth of spoilage microorganisms and inhibiting enzyme activity), chelating agents (chelating metals that can cause oxidation and discoloration), buffering agents (controlling acidity), gelling agents (controlling the gelling mechanism of pectin and seaweed gum in sauce-like foods), and coagulants. , buffering agent (to control acidity), gelling agent (to control the gelling mechanism of pectin, seaweed gum, etc. in saucy foods), coagulant (acid coagulation and precipitation of milk proteins, soy proteins), and so on. The selection of edible acids should take into account the flavor pattern, pH, solubility and dissolution rate, moisture absorption, chemical activity, etc. according to the application.
