Coated Acids

Coated acids are citric acid products with specially designed properties and added functionalities such as improved compressibility or decreased reactivity with other ingredients. In dry blends, they can simplify production processes and improve the performance of end products.

Coated Acids ingredients

Citric Acid DC

Citric acid DC is a directly compressible citric acid with a thin layer of maltodextrin on the surface of the particles. The use of citric acid DC results in time or energy related savings during the pre-processing or granulation steps prior to the tableting process.

Citric Acid S40

Citric acid S40 is a very fine powder, blended with a slight amount of anti-caking agent silicon dioxide (SiO2), which displays a high ability to bind moisture and thereby reduces the caking risk inherent with citric acids in a micronised form.

CITROCOAT® N

CITROCOAT® N is the Jungbunzlauer trade name for citric acid with a monosodium citrate coating. Compared to regular citric acid, CITROCOAT® N is less hygroscopic and less reactive with other ingredients.

CITROCOAT® EP

CITROCOAT® EP is an agglomerated effervescent compound, bringing citric acid and sodium bicarbonate together in the right composition to create a highly reactive but storage-stable effervescent powder.

Jungbunzlauer’s coated acids offer wide-ranging benefits across industries by enhancing stability in effervescent and dry formulations, improving processability in tableting and powder applications, and enabling sustainable, eco-friendly packaging solutions with minimal environmental impact.

  1. Sustainability and eco-friendly formulations: Coated acids are produced via natural fermentation processes from renewable raw materials, supporting eco-friendly and sustainable product formulations.
  2. Improved stability and process efficiency: The surface modification of citric acid, such as in CITROCOAT® N and CITROCOAT® EP, enhances product stability by reducing hygroscopicity, preventing premature reactions, and improving compressibility, making them ideal for dry formulations like effervescent powders and tablets.
  3. Enhanced product quality and functionality: These coated acids offer superior reactivity and tablet hardness with lower compression forces, ensuring high-quality, durable products that reduce processing time and minimise friability.
