Potassium citrate
Potassium citrate
We have potassium citrate monohydrate and anhydrous.
1. Potassium citrate monohydrate mainly used in food industry,pharmaceutical industry and laboratory analytical reagents.In the food industry it can be used as buffer,chelating agents,stabilizer etc.;it can be used for milk and dairy products,jellies,jams,meat,cheese emulsification,citrus preservation etc.In the pharmaceutical industry it'sused for hypokalemia,potassium deficiency and alkaline urine.It can also be used for chemical analysis reagent Potassium citrate monohydrate:
