City Chemical manufactures high purity DL-iso-Citric Acid Trisodium Salt, CAS 1637-73-6 in bulk quantity. DL-Iso-Citric Acid Trisodium Salt is a white crystalline powder, readily soluble in water as a clear colorless solution.
Used as a laboratory reagent, DL-iso-citric acid trisodium salt is the trisodium salt of isocitric acid. Isocitric acid is the isomer of citric acid. The isocitric acid is an essential substrate in the central metabolic pathway, citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) inside organisms. Since it is an organic acid found in most fruit juices, it is commonly used as a marker to evaluate the authenticity and quality of fruit products, most often citrus juices in food industry.
