Description

Ammonium Citrate, Dibasic is a flavor enhancer and ph control agent. it is the diammonium salt of citric acid, being prepared by partially neutralizing citric acid with ammonia. it is used in nonal- coholic beverages and certain cheeses.

Ammonium citrate is a white granular solid. Ammonium citrate dibasic is soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Ammonium citrate dibasic is used in pharmaceuticals, and in chemical analysis.

Application

Ammonium citrate dibasic is generally used as a component of matrix solution in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis. It can also be used as both the carbon and nitrogen source to synthesize fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles (CNPs).
