Low-sodium buffering
Compare the salts against the same buffering target. Include actual buffering response in addition to the mass conversion.
Mineral-fortified beverages
At equal potassium, compare the salts. Separately record titrant needed to reach the same pH and evaluate mouthfeel.
Purchase specifications and incoming inspection
Include the intended grade or current specification in the enquiry. Use the table to compare selection criteria and inspection conditions. The specification agreed by both parties defines the contractual limits. ENVO · Tripotassium Citrate product information ↗
| Property | Unit | Published or agreed specification | Test conditions and checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elemental potassium | % as received | Request potassium content for the tripotassium salt. | Confirm hydration state, calculate potassium per serving and verify the finished-product analysis. |
| pH of specified solution | Dimensionless | Request the range at the specified concentration. | Specify solution concentration, water quality and measurement temperature. Record finished-food pH separately. |
| Buffering performance | pH versus acid addition | Approve in the target formulation | Plot comparison curves using the same acid, order of addition, solids and temperature. |
When approving a sample, record the grade, methods, limits and specification revision. On receipt, match the packing lot number to the lot-specific COA and record the measured values and release decision.
Chemical identity
| Database entry | Molecular or composition formula | Molar mass |
|---|---|---|
| Tripotassium citrate | C6H5K3O7 | 306.39 g/mol |
The values refer to the compound indicated. Confirm hydrate form, solution concentration and blend composition for the commercial grade.
From samples to commercial delivery
Packaging and receiving
ENVO lists 25 kg composite bags with PE liners. Confirm net weight, units per pallet and label revision.
Storage and handling
Identify tripotassium salt and hydration state on the label. Confirm moisture-resistant liner and net weight.
Sample and order lead times
State food category, sales market, pilot quantity and required arrival date. Confirm MOQ, batch documents, availability and remaining shelf life separately for samples and commercial orders.
Questions from the plant
Why did switching from a sodium salt affect taste and ionic balance?
Compare at the same buffering target and calculate the contributions of each salt.
Can the existing acid-to-salt ratio be retained when using tripotassium citrate?
Set target pH and ionic contributions first. Verify buffering and flavour at bench scale.
Report a delivery or batch issue
Include the order number, lot number from the package, label photos and inspection records for the affected lot. When retesting, check Elemental potassium, hydration state, Solution pH.
