Potassium is one of the minerals essential to the human body. But even though it is vital the body itself cannot generate it. We offer high-purity potassium chlorides and potassium sulphates for a variety of applications by the foodstuffs industries.
Potassium chloride is a readily soluble crystalline compound. It is used as a source of potassium and as a functional ingredient in formulations that partially reduce sodium content. Its taste differs from ordinary table salt and may become mineral or bitter at higher concentrations. The amount is therefore determined during formulation development.
Applications
Reduced-sodium foods
Salt and mineral blends
Bakery, meat and dairy products
Ready meals, snacks and seasonings
Food and sports supplements
Electrolyte and mineral blends
Important
For professional use in accordance with the formulation and food legislation. Do not use for self-directed potassium supplementation without medical advice: excess potassium may be dangerous in kidney disease or when taking certain medicines.
