2.How is Tripotassium Citrate produced?

(1) Raw material proportioning: add citric acid and potassium hydroxide solution to the neutralization tank; (2) Neutralization reaction: in the neutralization tank, turn on the stirring, control the reaction temperature, continue to add potassium hydroxide solution by flow and adjust the ph to 5.5-6.5; (3) Removal of chlorate reaction: add 0.15-0.3‰ hydrogen peroxide by volume of solution to the solution in step (2), and hold the reaction for 30-120min at 60-85℃; (4) Removal of hydrogen peroxide: the solution in step (3) is heated to 110-125°C, held for 60-120min, and then cooled down to 60-70°C; (5) Activated carbon adsorption decolorization: the solution obtained in step (4) is decolorized by activated carbon to obtain potassium citrate decolorizing solution, and then potassium hydroxide solution is added to adjust the ph to 7.5-8.5; (6) Precision filtration: the solution obtained from step (5) is subjected to ceramic membrane filtration to obtain potassium citrate fine filtrate; (7) Concentration and crystallization: the solution obtained from step (6) is subjected to reduced-pressure evaporation and concentration and crystallization to obtain potassium citrate crystal slurry solution;

3.How is Tripotassium Citrate stored and distributed?

1. Food grade should be transported and stored according to food hygiene requirements. Avoid mixing and transporting, and load and unload lightly when handling to prevent damage to the package. 2. Precautions for safe operation: In places where dust is generated, provide suitable exhaust equipment. General fire protection measures. 3. Storage conditions:Keep sealed and keep away from light Temperature conditions:Room temperature 4. Moisture-proofing:To avoid the bag from breaking, to avoid its moisture and rain, so as to ensure that its properties will not change. To avoid unnecessary losses. 5. Anti-temperature: when under the influence of high temperature, performance, properties will be more or less affected, therefore, in the storage must avoid high temperature. 6. Fire prevention: When storing, pay special attention to fire prevention.

4.What is Tripotassium Citrate used for?

It is used as buffer, chelating agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifier, flavoring agent in food industry. It can be used in milk and dairy products, jelly, jam, meat, canned hydrogel snacks, emulsification of cheese, citrus preservation, etc. 1. Flavoring: Potassium citrate can be used as sour flavoring agent, which is widely used in food industry, such as carbonated beverages, fruit juices, canned food and so on. 2. Preservation: Potassium citrate has the effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeast and mold, so it can be used as a food preservative. 3. Preservation: Potassium citrate can inhibit the oxidation of food and prolong the shelf life of food.
