Synthesis and characterization of nutrient fortifier zinc citrate
Zhifu Wua,b,c, Guiquan Guod,*
ABSTRACT: Zinc citrate was synthesized using citric acid and zinc hydroxide as raw materials in a high-pressure reactor.
The yield, purity, molecular structure, crystal state, and morphology of the product were analyzed using titration,
thermogravimetric analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The
results showed that the morphology of the product consisted of microspheres with nanosheets on the surface. The
chemical composition indicated that the product had zinc-oxygen bonds and contained 10 molecules of crystal water.
This zinc citrate was synthesized using the hydrothermal method.
