ADM Potassium Citrate Granular (USP-NF/FCC) (092310)

ADM Potassium Citrate Granular (USP-NF/FCC) (092310) is a highly soluble monohydrate salt derived from citric acid. It is available as a crystalline granular material. Potassium citrate may be used as a partial or complete replacement for sodium citrate when reduced sodium or sodium-free products are desired. The Federal Standards of Identity for processed cheese allow the use of potassium citrate as an emulsifying salt. The substitution of potassium salt for sodium citrate will reduce the sodium content by 720 mg per 100 g of product at a 3% salt level. Potassium citrate will also reduce the sodium content of beverages, gelatin desserts, confections, jams, and jellies. Additionally, potassium citrate may be used as a source of potassium ions, either as a nutritional supplement or to maximize the gelation of kappa-carrageenan gels in applications such as surimi analogues.

Storage Conditions

This product is very hygroscopic and must be protected, during storage, from exposure to high temperatures and relative humidity. Storage below 75°F and 55% relative humidity in tightly sealed container is recommended. However, it is recommended to use the product within three years. Potassium citrate readily deliquesces in moist air. Adherence to the above storage conditions is highly recommended. Inspect product after six months of storage.
