properties | Potassium citrate (Potassium citrate), also known as Potassium citrate, tripotassium citrate. A citrate salt, molecular formula C6H5K3O7, molecular weight 306.39500, it is a white or yellowish crystalline particles or crystalline powder, odorless, salty, cool, deliquescent, soluble in water, almost insoluble in ethanol. The relative density was 1.98. It was melted and decomposed by heating to 230 °c. Purposes: acidity regulator, chelating agent, stabilizer, etc. China's provisions of potassium citrate can be used for all types of food, according to the production needs of appropriate use. Medically, it can be used to control uric acid or cystine from kidney stones, for the prevention and treatment of hypokalemia and alkalinization of urine. |
Use | is used in the food industry as a buffering agent, chelating agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifier, flavoring agent, etc. Potassium citrate can also be used for milk and dairy products, jelly, jam, meat, canned hydrogel snacks, cheese emulsification, Citrus Preservation and so on. In the pharmaceutical industry for hypokalemia and potassium deficiency and alkalinizing urine. Potassium citrate product standard (GB 14889-94) index name index 1. Potassium citrate (on a dry basis) ≥ 99.0% 2. Alkalinity 5% aqueous solution is alkaline to litmus, but after adding 0.2 mL of 0.1 mol/L sulfuric acid to 10 mL of the solution, adding a drop of phenolphthalein reagent, no pink appears 3. Arsenic (As) ≤ 0.000 3 % 4. Heavy metal (Pb) ≤ 0.001% 5. Loss on drying (180 ℃,4 h) 3.0 ~ 6.0% as preservatives, stabilizers and pH buffers. China's provisions can be used for all kinds of food, according to the production needs of the appropriate amount of use. used in food, pharmaceutical and other industries, as a buffer, chelating agent, flavoring agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsified salt, etc. commonly used as analytical reagents, also used in the pharmaceutical industry; Used in food, pharmaceutical and other industries, as buffer, chelating agent, flavoring agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifying salt, etc. |
Usage | Usage: 1. For jam, jelly to adjust the acidity, in order to maintain its pH at 2.8~3.5 as well. The specific dosage varies according to different foods, which is 0.5~5g/kg. 2. As a stabilizer, for condensed milk, sweetened milk, cream, 2g/kg (used alone) or 3G/kg (combined with other stabilizers, anhydrous); For milk powder, dehydrated cream, 5g/kg (alone or in combination with other stabilizers, as anhydrous); For processed cheese, 40g/kg (alone or in combination with other stabilizers, as anhydrous). Dosage: according to the production needs for all kinds of food, jam, jelly 0.5~5g/kg, condensed milk, sweet condensed milk, cream 2~3g/kg, milk powder, dehydrated Cream 5g/kg, cheese 40g/kg. |
drug for prevention of urinary calculi | potassium citrate is the most commonly used drug for prevention of urinary calculi, the study found that the acid base value and citric acid value in the urine and the formation of urinary calculi have a very close relationship. In acidic urine (pH<5.5), the solubility of uric acid is very low, which is easy to cause uric acid stones. In alkaline urine (pH>7), it is easy to form calcium phosphate or magnesium phosphate stones. 63% of patients with urinary tract stones in the urine of citric acid is lower than normal, and potassium citrate can provide a large amount of citric acid to raise the urine pH value, so for uric acid stones, low calcium citrate stone disease and renal tubular Stone caused by calcium stones have a very significant therapeutic effect. However, this results in an increase in potassium ions and a decrease in Ammonia ions in the urine, because potassium citrate is supplemented with not only citric acid but also potassium. Because the metabolism of potassium in the body is very fast, there is no change in the potassium content in the blood, so it has little effect on the body. From uric acid stones in patients with daily total urine volume, oxalic acid, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, sulfate and uric acid and other aspects of the test found that, also does not take potassium citrate. |
production method | a product obtained by neutralization of citric acid with potassium hydroxide or potassium bicarbonate. See sodium citrate C6H8O7 3KHCO3 → CaH5K3O7 · H2O 3CO2 δ2h2o |
