Before you source Sodium Citrates, understand what it does in Antioxidants
Sodium Citrates (CAS 994-36-5) looks like an ordinary Antioxidants; Food Additives; Other Chemical Raw Materials raw material, yet its behaviour swings a lot across process windows. Across a batch of real selection cases we kept seeing the same few failure points — this page lays them out.

The role it plays in Antioxidants; Food Additives; Other Chemical Raw Materials
In Antioxidants; Food Additives; Other Chemical Raw Materials, the first split for Sodium Citrates (CAS 994-36-5) is 'industrial grade' vs 'food / feed grade' — they are not interchangeable. Food and feed grades carry stricter statutory limits on heavy metals, arsenic, microbes and residues, usually backed by corresponding licences and test reports. Regulatory grade and traceability come before the assay figure. Comparable grades:
- Sodium Citrates (CAS 994-36-5)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- coagulants (CAS 6132-04-3)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Iron(II) sodium citrate (CAS 144314-88-5)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
What actually matters when selecting
- Confirm the required grade (food / feed / industrial) — never substitute industrial for food or feed use.
- Request and verify test reports for heavy metals, arsenic, microbes and residual solvents against the applicable standard or customer spec.
- Mind moisture-proof, contamination-free packaging and transport to avoid drift on arrival.
- Retain samples of critical lots and keep incoming-inspection records for traceability and retest.
Mistakes people make
Using industrial grade in place of food / feed grade: statutory limits differ and mixing them triggers compliance and safety risk.
Watching assay but ignoring traceability: without the correct grade's test report, even high purity cannot enter the food / feed chain.
Loose storage and transport: moisture or cross-contamination can make a compliant lot fail on arrival.
Questions we often get
Where is Sodium Citrates used in Antioxidants; Food Additives; Other Chemical Raw Materials?
As a common raw material it serves nutritional fortification, stabilisation or process aid; the exact use depends on the finished product and regulatory grade.
Which grade and documents should I confirm when sourcing Sodium Citrates?
State food / feed grade requirements and verify safety indicators (heavy metals, microbes) test reports against the applicable standard or customer spec.
Can industrial grade be used as food / feed grade?
No. Products here are supplied for industrial and research use; food or feed use requires the correct grade with full compliance documentation.
