Frequent Uses

Buffering Agent
Widely used as a buffering agent in pharmaceuticals and chemical formulations. It helps to maintain a stable pH in solutions, making it valuable in the preparation of effervescent tablets, syrups, and other medicinal products that require precise pH control.

Food and Beverage Applications
Often as a buffering agent to maintain the desired pH in soft drinks, jams, and other processed foods. It can also act as a preservative and flavour enhancer in various food products.

Effervescent Formulations
Plays a vital role in effervescent formulations, where it reacts with acids (such as citric acid) to produce carbon dioxide gas, creating the characteristic fizz. These formulations are used in both pharmaceuticals and beverages, improving dissolution rates and the overall sensory experience.

Laboratory Applications
Frequently used in the preparation of buffer solutions for biochemical and biological research. It is also employed in the preparation of citrate-based reagents, commonly used in enzyme assays and other analytical tests.

Anticoagulant in Blood Collection
Used in blood collection tubes as an anticoagulant. It helps to prevent blood from clotting by binding calcium ions, making it crucial for maintaining blood samples for laboratory testing, particularly in coagulation studies.

Cosmetic Formulations
In certain formulations as a pH regulator. It helps to maintain the stability and effectiveness of cosmetics and personal care products, ensuring that the pH remains within the desired range for optimal skin compatibility.

Water Treatment
Sometimes used in water treatment applications, particularly in processes that require pH adjustment. It can also be used in the cleaning of water pipes and systems, helping to remove deposits and prevent corrosion.

Dental Care
Included in some dental care products, such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, where it acts as a buffering agent to maintain the proper pH level for optimal oral health.
