Question

Can Triethyl Citrate be dissolved in water at 4-5% concentration without a solubilizer like FloraSolve?

Answer

Triethyl Citrate has limited solubility in water. Achieving a clear and stable solution at a concentration of 4-5% in water without using a solubilizer like FloraSolve or other co-solvents is generally difficult and may result in turbidity or separation. Solubilizers help to incorporate ingredients that are not easily soluble in water into the aqueous phase.
