Copper Citrate

Description:

Copper citrate, with the CAS number 10402-15-0, is a coordination compound formed from copper and citric acid. It typically appears as a blue-green solid, reflecting the characteristic color of copper complexes. This compound is soluble in water, which enhances its utility in various applications, including agriculture as a micronutrient and in biochemistry for its potential roles in enzyme activity and metabolic processes. Copper citrate exhibits chelating properties, allowing it to bind with other molecules, which can influence its reactivity and bioavailability. It is generally considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in dietary supplements and as a food additive. However, like other copper compounds, excessive exposure can lead to toxicity, necessitating careful handling and regulation. Its stability and solubility make it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings, particularly in studies related to copper's role in biological systems and its potential therapeutic applications.

Copper citrate

CAS: 10402-15-0

Copper citrate is a copper salt used as an antimicrobial agent in the food industry. It is often used in combination with citric acid and sodium citrate to eliminate the need for synthetic preservatives, which can be harmful to humans. Copper citrate has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae by reacting with their cell walls and disrupting their metabolism. The mechanism of action of copper citrate is not well understood; however, it may involve reaction with the enzyme malonic acid reductase, which causes malonic acid to accumulate inside the cell and eventually cause cell death. Copper citrate has also been shown to have genotoxic effects on human cells in culture.
