Product Information
Name:Copper citrate
Brand:Biosynth
Description: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.
