What is Tripotassium Citrate (Potassium Citrate) Used For?

Tripotassium citrate is used in foods, beverages, and other applications as a buffering, sequestering or emulsifying ingredient. Potassium citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid and it usually replaces trisodium citrate whenever a low sodium content is desired. An organic acid naturally found in citrus fruits, potassium citrate is a preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks.  It can be added to ice cream to keep fat globules separated and be added to recipes in place of fresh lemon juice.
