Potassium bicarbonate is a food-grade leavening agent and pH regulator used in baking, winemaking, and agriculture as a sodium-free alternative to sodium bicarbonate. Its ability to liberate CO₂ makes it ideal for fluffing and leavening in baked goods while regulating pH in beverages and wines.
With molecular weight 100.11 g/mol and high water solubility, it serves as an organic fungicide for powdery mildew control and buffering agent in pharmaceuticals. Food additive E501(ii) certified with 2-year shelf stability supports clean-label formulations.
| Sr. No. | Description | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purity | 99% minimum |
| 2 | Chemical Formula | KHCO₃ |
| 3 | Form | White crystalline powder |
| 4 | Country of origin | India |
| 5 | Quantities | 25 kg and 50 kg bags; bulk available |
White odorless crystalline powder with molecular weight 100.11 g/mol; decomposition point 50°C.
Highly soluble in water (approximately 33.6 g/100 mL at 20°C); weakly alkaline with pH ~8.5 in solution.
Liberates CO₂ when heated or contacted with acids; thermally stable up to 50°C.
Non-flammable, chemically stable under normal storage; moisture <0.5% ensures stability.
Leavening agent in baking (cakes, breads, pastries) as sodium-free replacement for sodium bicarbonate.
pH regulator and buffering agent in wine production maintaining optimal acidity balance.
Organic fungicide for controlling powdery mildew in agriculture and horticulture.
Fire extinguisher component and disintegrant in effervescent tablets for medications and supplements.
Food-grade (E501(ii) approved) and pharmaceutical-grade available; meets food safety standards.
Non-toxic; minimal hazards; use standard food handling PPE during processing.
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas in sealed containers away from moisture.
Stable for 2 years when stored properly; decomposition minimized in dry conditions.
