Documented Uses

• Used as an emulsifier, acidulant, sequestrant, medication (expectorant, systemic alkalizer, diuretic, sudorific, and anticoagulant), and general purpose additive for foods; Also used in photography, detergents, and electroplating and to remove sulfur dioxide from smelter waste gases; [HSDB]
• Electroplating [Category: Plate]
• Photographic Processing [Category: Other]
• AS A PHARMACEUTIC AID, SODIUM CITRATE IS USED TO PREVENT DARKENING WHEN IRON IS ADDED TO PREPARATIONS CONTAINING TANNIN.
• OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED ONLY FOR ITS USE AS A BLOOD ANTICOAGULANT FOR BLOOD OR PLASMA THAT IS TO BE FRACTIONATED OR FOR BLOOD THAT IS TO BE STORED. THE ANTICOAGULANT EFFECT IS DUE TO THE CONVERSION OF IONIZED CALCIUM IN THE BLOOD TO NONIONIZED CALCIUM CITRATE.
• SODIUM CITRATE IS USED TO PREVENT THE CURDLING OF MILK BY RENNIN, & IS USED FOR THIS PRUPOSE TO ALTER COW'S MILK IN THE FEEDING OF INFANTS SO THAT LARGE HARD CURDS ARE NOT FORMED IN THE STOMACH... 100 MG MAY BE ADDED TO EACH 30 ML OF MILK.
