Application

Triethyl citrate was used as a plasticizer in the study of the feasibility of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in determining the influence of plasticizer levels and sintering temperature on the breaking force of extended-release matrix tablets prepared by roller-compaction.

General description

Triethyl citrate is a safe direct food additive.
