Potassium Acetate
Potassium Acetate, CH3COOK (E261), is used in various applications in the meat industry. Due to its no sodium content, it can be offered as an alternative functional ingredient for low sodium meat products. It controls the pH, functioning as an acidifier. It is also used in preservation blends with other acids or acetates to extend the shelf life of meat products.
Kemira's Potassium Acetate is available as a white, non-dusty and free flowing, agglomerate.
