Properties and Usage:
Product Description: Potassium chloride is a widely used and important inorganic salt. As a colorless crystal or white crystalline powder, potassium chloride has good solubility in water, making it a key ingredient in many fields. Its main application areas include food industry, agriculture, medicine and industrial manufacturing.
Main uses:
1. Food industry:
Nutritional supplement: Potassium chloride is often used in food to supplement the potassium required by the human body and maintain electrolyte balance.
Gelling agent and gelling aid: In food processing, potassium chloride can be used to enhance the effect of gelling agents such as carrageenan and enhance the structure and texture of food.
Salt substitute: Potassium chloride, as a substitute for table salt, is widely used in low-sodium products, effectively reducing sodium intake to reduce the possibility of hypertension. It is suitable for condiments, soy sauce, canned foods and convenience foods.
Yeast feed: It is used for nutritional supplementation during yeast fermentation to promote fermentation effects.
2. Agriculture:
Fertilizer: Potassium chloride is an important potassium fertilizer that provides the potassium required for crop growth and enhances crop disease resistance and yield.
Mineral supplement: It is used to prepare mineral beverages to enhance the nutritional value of crops.
3. Industrial Application:
Manufacturing Potassium Salt: Used to produce potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium nitrate, potassium sulfate and other potassium salts.
Dye Production: Used to make G salts and reactive dyes in the dye industry.
4. Medical Application:
Often used as a drug for regulating electrolyte balance.
