A high COS concentration and a small amount of citrate caused formation of a precipitate; at 10 mM citrate, the turbidity of the solution was highest, 59.96% (<i>r</i> = 0.6; <i>p</i> < 0.05). By Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, we determined that there were electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds between COS, citrate, and pectin, with competition between citrate and pectin for COS. To minimize precipitation, the data showed that COS should not exceed 0.2% in solution with 0.2% pectin at pH 4. Precipitation could be reduced by addition of 30 ~ 50 mM citrate, and COS should be less than 0.06% (w/v) when used in commercial juice. The taste of the juice will be maintained without affecting the antibacterial and antiseptic properties of COS.
