Potassium Bitartrate Usage
1. Chemical industry: Potassium hydrogen tartrate is mainly used to make tartrates, such as potassium sodium tartrate, and so on.
2. Food: Used in the food industry as a beer foaming agent, food sour agent, flavoring agent, etc., its acidity is 1.3 times that of citric acid, especially suitable as a sour agent for grape juice. This product has been identified as an excellent food additive by the FAO/WHO Expert Committee.
3. Light industry: It also plays a very important role in industries such as leather tanning, photography, glass, enamel, and telecommunication equipment.
4. Laboratory: It is also used for the determination of bismuth, aluminum, and nickel and the preparation of microbial culture media. It is also widely used in buffer solutions.
