Food Ingredient/Food Additive Potassium Citrate /Tripotassium Citrate Anhydrous for Fruit Juice, Wine and Confectionery

Potassium Citrate is an organic acid salt, commonly used as a food additive, pharmaceutical excipient, and industrial raw material, with functions such as flavoring, preservative, and acidity regulation.

(1) Food industry: As a food additive, it can regulate the acidity of food, improve flavor, and also be used as an emulsifier and stabilizer, commonly found in beverages, jams, jellies and other foods.

(2) Pharmaceutical field: As a pharmaceutical excipient, it can be used to treat hypokalemia, prevent urinary stones, and help maintain electrolyte balance in the body.

(3) Industrial aspect: It is used in detergent production to enhance decontamination effect; it can also be used as a component of electroplating solution or in cosmetics to adjust pH value.

(4) Agricultural field: It can be used as a fertilizer additive to supplement potassium and citrate ions for crops, aiding in plant growth and development.

(5) Water treatment field: It can chelate metal ions in water, be used for water softening, and also assist in treating industrial wastewater to reduce the harm of heavy metal ions in water bodies.

(1) Regulating pH: It can neutralize acidic substances, stabilize the pH value of products in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other fields, and prevent deterioration or performance changes.

(2) Chelating effect: It can combine with metal ions such as calcium and magnesium to form stable chelates, which can soften water in water treatment and prevent metal ions from affecting flavor or stability in food.

(3) Supplementing electrolytes: In medicine, it supplements potassium to the human body, maintains the normal functions of nerves and muscles, and alleviates hypokalemia.

(4) Improving texture and flavor: In the food industry, it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer to enhance food taste, while regulating sourness and improving flavor coordination.

(5) Assisting in decontamination: It enhances the dispersion ability of oils and dirt in detergents, improving cleaning efficiency.
