Triethyl citrate(Cas 77-93-0) Usage

Production Methods	Triethyl citrate is prepared by the esterification of citric acid and ethanol in the presence of a catalyst.
Preparation	By esterification of ethyl alcohol with citric acid.
General Description	Triethyl citrate is a safe direct food additive.
Pharmaceutical Applications	Triethyl citrate and the related esters acetyltriethyl citrate, tributyl citrate, and acetyltributyl citrate are used to plasticize polymers in formulated pharmaceutical coatings. The coating applications include capsules, tablets, beads, and granules for taste masking, immediate release, sustained-release, and enteric formulations. Triethyl citrate is also used as a direct food additive for flavoring, for solvency, and as a surface active agent.
Safety Profile	Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Mildly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use dry chemical, CO2. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS and CITRIC ACID.
Safety	Triethyl citrate is used in oral pharmaceutical formulations and as a direct food additive. It is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material. However, ingestion of large quantities may be harmful. LD50 (mouse, IP): 1.75 g/kg LD50 (rat, IP): 4 g/kg LD50 (rat, oral): 5.9 g/kg LD50 (rat, SC): 6.6 g/kg
storage	Triethyl citrate should be stored in a closed container in a cool, dry location. When stored in accordance with these conditions, triethyl citrate is a stable product.
Incompatibilities	Triethyl citrate is incompatible with strong alkalis and oxidizing materials.
Regulatory Status	GRAS listed. Accepted for use as a food additive in Europe. Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral capsules and tablets). Included in the Canadian List of Acceptable Nonmedicinal Ingredients.
