    Applications: in foods and drinks

    This compound is a source of carbon dioxide for leavening in baking. It can substitute for baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) for those with a low-sodium diet, and it is an ingredient in low-sodium baking powders.

     

    As an inexpensive, nontoxic base, it is widely used in diverse application to regulate pH or as a reagent. Examples include as buffering agent in medications, an additive in winemaking.

     

    Potassium bicarbonate is often found added to club soda to improve taste,and to soften the effect of effervescence.

     

    Packing: 25kg/woven bag with inner food-grade polyethylene film bag.

     

    Storage: Stored in a cool and dry area, keep away from rain and moisture.
