Potassium Citrate

Potassium citrate is the tripotassium salt of citric acid, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder or granules and used as a source of the mineral potassium and as an acidity regulator in supplement, food and beverage applications. Potassium is an essential mineral and electrolyte.

It is formulated into mineral and electrolyte supplements, effervescent tablets, sports and hydration powders, capsules and ready-to-drink beverages, and is used in processed foods and dairy products as a buffering agent, sequestrant and acidity regulator (food additive E332).

The material is a white, odourless crystalline powder or granule, freely soluble in water. CAS number 866-84-2, molecular formula C6H5K3O7, molecular weight 306.39. Identity and assay are confirmed by titration and standardised to specification; heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies potassium citrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Potassium citrate is an accepted food additive and mineral source in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-potassium contribution and permitted level for their application.
