Question
Can Triethyl Citrate dissolve directly in water at a concentration of 4-5% without using a solubilizer like FloraSolve?
Answer
Triethyl Citrate has some degree of water solubility. However, achieving a clear solution at a concentration of 4-5% directly in water without a solubilizer like FloraSolve may be difficult and can depend on factors such as temperature. Solubilizers are typically used to help incorporate ingredients like Triethyl Citrate into aqueous phases at higher concentrations and ensure stability.
