Potassium Citrate powder Usage and Synthesis.

Potassium citrate is a white slightly hygroscopic crystalline powder, odorless, with the taste of saline, easily soluble in water, slowly soluble in glycerol, insoluble in alcohol, with a salty and cool taste.

Potassium citrate is one of the most commonly used medications to prevent stones. Studies have found that the pH and citric acid values in urine are very closely related to the formation of urinary tract stones.

63% of patients with urinary tract stones have lower than normal citric acid in the urine, and potassium citrate can provide a large amount of citric acid to raise the pH value in the urine, so it has a very significant therapeutic effect on uric acid stones, low-citric acid calcium stones and calcium stones caused by renal tubular toxicity.

Potassium citrate is also commonly used as a food additive in the food industry, and manufacturers should ensure that all products leaving the factory meet the requirements of this standard.

Uses of Potassium Citrate powder.

It is used as a buffering agent, chelating agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifier, flavoring agent, etc. in the food industry. Potassium citrate is also used in milk and dairy products, jellies, jams, meats, canned hydrogel snacks, emulsification of cheese, preservation of citrus. It is used in the pharmaceutical industry for hypokalemia and potassium deficiency and for alkalizing urine.
