CAS # 6100-05-6
Chemical formula: C6H5K3O7.H2O
Other names: Tripotassium Citrate Monohydrate
Brief Description:
Potassium Citrate is a tribasic potassium salt of citric acid. It is prepared by complete neutralization of citric acid with a highly pure potassium source and subsequent crystallization.
It is a white crystalline powder with a salty taste. It is slightly deliquescent when in contact with moisture. Potassium Citrate is very soluble in water and almost insoluble in ethanol.
Potassium Citrate is used in foods, beverages and as buffering agents and emulsifying agents. It is used in place of Sodium Citrate where low sodium content is required.
It is non-toxic and chemically stable at ambient temperatures.
