Product Introduction
Tripotassium citrate anhydrous, also known as anhydrous potassium citrate, is a white, water-soluble crystalline powder with CAS number 866-84-2. It acts as an acidity regulator, buffering agent and potassium source in food and beverage formulations. It can also replace sodium citrate in formulations where reduced sodium content is desired. Bluewise supplies food-grade tripotassium citrate anhydrous for ingredient formulation and bulk sourcing.
Applications
- Beverages: Helps regulate pH and balance acidity in soft drinks and fruit-flavored beverages.
- Sports and Electrolyte Drinks: Provides potassium while supporting pH control in electrolyte formulations.
- Fortified Foods and Nutrition Blends: Serves as a potassium source in fortified foods and powdered nutrition products.
- Processed Cheese and Cheese Sauces: Acts as an emulsifying salt to help maintain a smooth texture and reduce fat separation.
- Reduced-Sodium Foods: Can replace sodium citrate to provide buffering and sequestering functions while reducing sodium contributed by this ingredient.
