Description

What Is Potassium Citrate?
It is used as buffer, chelating agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifier, flavoring agent, etc. in the food industry. Potassium citrate can also be used in milk and dairy products, jelly, jam, meat, canned hydrogel dim sum, cheese emulsification.
Potassium citrate is an organic compound with white to colorless crystals. Sodium citrate is used as an acidity regulator, flavoring agent, and stabilizer in the food and beverage industry; as an anticoagulant, expectorant, and diuretic in the pharmaceutical industry; in the detergent industry, it can replace sodium tripolyphosphate as an auxiliary agent for non-toxic detergents; it is also used in brewing, injections, photographic chemicals, and electroplating. It is easily weathered in the air, loses crystal water at 150°C, decomposes when overheated, and is soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol.

Potassium Citrate Uses:
It is used as a buffer, chelating agent, nutritional supplement for buttermilk, emulsifier, stabilizer, flavoring agent, etc. in the food industry; as an anticoagulant in the pharmaceutical industry; and as a preservative in syrup preparations. It is a gelling agent for jelly and juice, and an emulsifier and stabilizer for cheese and ice cream, etc.
It is used as a flavoring agent and stabilizer in the food and beverage industry; it can replace sodium tripolyphosphate as an auxiliary agent for non-toxic detergents in the detergent industry; it is also used in brewing, electroplating, etc.
Lemon juice contains a large amount of citric acid, which combines with calcium ions to form a soluble complex
When fresh blood is collected clinically, some sterilized sodium citrate or sodium oxalate needs to be added to prevent blood coagulation, so sodium citrate and sodium oxalate are called anticoagulants.


Potassium Gluconate VS Potassium Citrate:
Potassium Gluconate:
Composition: Potassium gluconate is the potassium salt of gluconic acid, a mild organic acid. This form of potassium is often used as a mineral supplement to prevent or treat low potassium levels in the blood, a condition known as hypokalemia.
Use: Potassium gluconate is frequently used to replenish potassium levels in individuals who may have experienced potassium depletion due to various factors such as prolonged diarrhea, vomiting, or certain medications.
Acidity: It is important to note that potassium gluconate is less acidic compared to other forms of potassium supplements, which may be a relevant consideration for individuals who are sensitive to acidic substances.

Potassium Citrate:
Composition: Potassium citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid, a naturally occurring acid in citrus fruits. This form of potassium is commonly used for its alkalizing properties.
Use: Potassium citrate is frequently employed to manage kidney stones by making urine less acidic. By alkalinizing the urine, potassium citrate can help prevent the formation of certain types of kidney stones and may also aid in the dissolution of existing stones.
Absorption: Similar to potassium gluconate, potassium citrate is well absorbed in the digestive system, contributing to its effectiveness in achieving the desired therapeutic outcomes.
Acidity: Unlike potassium gluconate, potassium citrate is more alkaline, which is particularly advantageous for individuals requiring urinary alkalization.

For individuals who require a potassium supplement to address low potassium levels in the blood, potassium gluconate may be the preferred option. On the other hand, for those managing kidney stones or in need of urinary alkalization, potassium citrate may be the more suitable choice.


Potassium Citrate Side Effects:
However, excessive or long-term use of potassium citrate may be harmful to the human body. This includes:
1. Gastrointestinal discomfort: Intake of more potassium citrate may cause nausea, vomiting, chest pain, abdominal pain and other symptoms, especially those with existing digestive tract diseases.
2. Affecting the nervous system: If this substance is consumed in large quantities, it may cause instability in the nervous system of children, headaches, excitement, etc., which has a great impact on the healthy growth of children.
3. Hyperkalemia: If potassium citrate is not taken properly, it will lead to excessive intake of potassium ions, which may cause hyperkalemia, fatigue, and adverse effects on the heart.
