Frequently Asked Questions on: Ferric Ammonium Citrate

What is Ferric Ammonium Citrate?

Ferric Ammonium Citrate (also known as ferric ammonium citrate or ammoniacal ferrous citrate) is a chemical compound that consists of iron (in the ferric, or Fe³⁺, oxidation state) complexed with ammonium and citrate ions. It forms a coordination complex by combining these three components.

What is Ferric Ammonium Citrate Used For?

Ferric Ammonium Citrate has a range of uses, including:

As a food ingredient, it serves as an acidity regulator (INS number 381) and is notably used in the Scottish beverage Irn-Bru.
In water purification processes.
As a reducing agent for metal salts of low activity, such as gold and silver.
In medical imaging as a contrast medium.
As a hematinic (to treat iron deficiency anemia).

Can Ferric Ammonium Citrate Be Used During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Ferric Ammonium Citrate. It’s essential to consider individual health conditions and potential risks.

How Does Ferric Ammonium Citrate Work in Water Purification?
