Food Grade 99% Tripotassium Citrate Potassium Citrate for Beverage & Dairy Production

Tripotassium Citrate, commonly known as Potassium Citrate, CAS:866-84-2, molecular formula C₆H₅K₃O₇, is high-standard food-grade organic potassium salt produced by neutralization reaction between food-grade citric acid and potassium carbonate, followed by concentration, crystallization, centrifugation and drying refinement. The finished product appears as white granular crystal or crystalline powder, odorless with mild salty taste, easily soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol. Featuring excellent pH buffering performance, outstanding chelating capability toward calcium, magnesium and heavy metal ions as well as stable moisture resistance under regular ambient conditions, our product reaches minimum 99% assay content with strict control over heavy metal, sulfate, chloride and microbial indicators in full compliance with FCC, BP, USP and China food additive GB standard. As an indispensable multifunctional food additive, it is widely deployed in beverage, dairy, bakery, canned food, pharmaceutical preparation and daily oral care industries.

Applications
**Beverage Industry (Main Application)**: Core acidity buffer and mineral supplement for fruit juice, carbonated drinks, sports drinks, lactic acid beverage and concentrated fruit syrup. It stabilizes product pH value to avoid drastic acidity fluctuation caused by raw material difference, improves flavor coordination and effectively chelates metal ions that would trigger beverage discoloration and deterioration. In electrolyte functional drinks, it replenishes soluble potassium to balance human electrolyte after sweating, becoming essential raw material for low-sodium healthy beverage formulas.
**Dairy & Fermented Food Processing**: Applied as emulsifier and stabilizer in yoghurt, processed cheese, condensed milk and dairy dessert. It prevents casein coagulation and whey precipitation during high-temperature sterilization and long-term shelf storage, stabilizes dairy emulsion system and improves finished product smooth texture. Also used in fermented soybean products to adjust system pH and extend shelf life.
**Bakery, Canned & Confectionery Food**: Added into bread, cake, jam, canned fruits and jelly candy to adjust sour-sweet ratio, inhibit pigment decomposition and fruit browning; meanwhile it works as potassium fortifier for low-sugar and low-sodium health snacks, replacing partial sodium additives to develop healthy low-sodium food in line with modern dietary demand.
**Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Products**: Important medicinal raw material for oral potassium supplement preparations, used to manufacture potassium replenishment tablets and effervescent granules for correcting hypokalemia; it also serves as mild alkalizer in pharmaceutical syrup formulations to improve drug taste and optimize formulation stability, widely applied in over-the-counter health supplements.
**Oral Care & Daily Fine Chemicals**: Functional additive for toothpaste and mouthwash, regulating product pH value and preventing toothpaste raw material precipitation; its mild chelation reduces tartar formation auxiliaryly, widely adopted in high-end oral care product formulation.
