to 80 percent monoisopropyl, 15 to 30 percent diisopropyl, and 5
to 10 percent triisopropyl citrate.
Chemical Properties
Viscous colorless syrup. Crystallizes upon standing.
Uses
Food additive.
Uses
Monoisopropyl Citrate is a sequestrant used in fats and oils.
Uses
Isopropyl Citrate (Mixture) is an antioxidant that reacts with metal ions that might catalyze oxidative reactions and thus will prevent rancidity. It is made by reacting citric acid (not soluble in fats and oils) with isopropyl alcohol (which readily dissolves in oil) and thus enables the citrate to dissolve in oil. It is used in vegetable oils.
