Potassium Bicarbonate is a food-grade mild alkaline potassium salt used as a leavening agent, acidity regulator, potassium supplement and effervescent base in food and pharmaceutical applications.We supply bulk Potassium Bicarbonate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder and granular forms for global food and beverage producers. Our Potassium Bicarbonate is widely used in reduced-sodium baking, beverages and wine, potassium dietary supplement, effervescent tablet base and fire extinguisher agent.
Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO₃) is produced by reacting potassium carbonate with CO₂. It functions as a leavening agent (reacts with acids to produce CO₂), acidity regulator, potassium source and effervescent base.
Preferred over sodium bicarbonate in reduced-sodium formulations, it provides approximately 39% potassium. Also used in wine-making for deacidification and in fire extinguishers.
