Application of Potassium Bitartrate CAS 868-14-4

1) Potassium tartrate is widely used in food, medicine, chemical industry, light industry and other industries. It is mainly used to manufacture tartrates, such as potassium antimony tartrate, potassium sodium tartrate and so on.

(3) Used in the food industry as beer foaming agent, food sour agent, flavoring agent, etc. Its sourness is 1.3 times that of citric acid, which is especially suitable as a sour agent for grape juice. This product has been appraised as an excellent food additive by the FAO/WHO expert committee.

(3) It also plays a very important role in tanning, photography, glass, enamel, telecommunication equipment and other industries.

(4) It is also used for the determination of bismuth, aluminum and nickel and the preparation of microbial culture media.
