Citric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides CITREM is a food additive commonly used as an antioxidant, emulsifier, and preservative. It is composed of citric acid, fatty acids, and glycerol. Typically, it appears as a white to pale yellow solid or powder resembling wax. At room temperature, citric acid esters of mono and glycerides CITREM are soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but are insoluble in water. Its melting point generally ranges from 40°C to 60°C, facilitating dissolution and mixing during processing.
Citric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides CITREM exhibits excellent emulsifying properties, promoting the blending and stability of oil and water phases, thereby enhancing the texture and mouthfeel of food products. Additionally, it possesses certain antimicrobial and preservative properties, extending the shelf life of food items.
