Applications, Properties and Packing

Potassium bicarbonate is a white Crystalline Powder, odorless, slightly basic, salty substance.
• Fire extinguisher: Potassium Bicarbonate is used in the fire protection industry as a fire suppression agent. When used in this application, it is often referred to as Purple-K Powder. It is effective against Class-B and Class-C type fires.
• Pharmaceuticals: Potassium Bicarbonate is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an antacid, as well as a buffering agent in various medicines.
• Agricultural: Potassium Bicarbonate is used as a fertilizer, as it is a source of potassium, an essential nutrient for plant growth. It is also used to regulate soil acidity and improve soil structure.
* Mineral water Plant : Added as mineral supplement and to enhance taste
* Food and beverages: Potassium Bicarbonate is used as a leavening agent in baking, as a food preservative, and as an ingredient in beverages.

Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) nature is a white crystalline powder slightly alkaline salt with a salty taste.It’s a potassium salt of carbonic acid, used as a dietary supplement , Mineral Supplement in packaged drinking water and Nutraceutical
industry.
Potassium bicarbonate is a high-purity form of potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) specifically manufacturers and processed to meet strict safety and quality standards for used in food and beverage applications.

(A)Nutraceuticals :-
Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) is used in nutraceuticals for its role as an alkaline mineral and electrolyte, offering several health benefits when used appropriately

(B) Food & Beverages:-
Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO₃) is used in food and beverages for several purposes due to its chemical properties as a buffering agent, leavening agent, and pH regulator.

1.pH Regulation and Acidity Control:

1.Potassium bicarbonate is Commonly used to adjust and stabilize the pH of food and beverage products. It acts as a buffering agent to neutralize excess acidity, ensuring a consistent taste and quality Of products.
2. Also used in beverages industry like sparkling water, soft drinks, and wine to reduce acidity and improve flavor balance.
3.In wine making process, it’s added to decrease tartness in grape juice or wine by neutralizing excess organic acids (e.g., tartaric or malic acid).

2.Leavening Agent:
1.potassium bicarbonate function as a leavening agent, similar to sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). It reacts with acidic ingredients (e.g., buttermilk, or vinegar) to release carbon dioxide, which helps dough rise and creates a lighter texture in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and breads.
2.It’s often used in low-sodium baking formulations as a substitute for sodium bicarbonate to reduce sodium content in products.

3.Effervescence for Beverages industry :
1.Potassium bicarbonate is used in carbonated beverages to provide effervescence. It releases carbon dioxide when dissolved, contributing to the fizz in drinks like sparkling water or sodas.

4.Nutrient Fortification:
1.As a source of potassium, it can be added to foods and beverages to enhance their nutritional Value, particularly in products marketed as heart-healthy or low-sodium alternatives.
2.Potassium is an essential mineral that supports muscle function, nerve signaling, and fluid balance, making it valuable in functional beverages or sports drinks.

5.Specialty Food Applications:
1.Used in chocolate industry and cocoa processing to reduce acidity and improve flavor, a process known as “Dutching” when combined with other alkalizing agents.
2.In organic and health-focused foods, potassium bicarbonate is sometimes knows as a natural alternative to synthetic additives.
