Potassium Citrate (Tripotassium Citrate) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Tripotassium Citrate
- Potassium Citrate Tribasic
- K3C6H5O7
Tripotassium citrate for food buffering, beverage fortification and pharmaceutical potassium delivery in Malaysia. Formulators choose it when they need a soluble organic potassium salt rather than chloride or carbonate.
Monohydrate powder is common in wet processes. Anhydrous grades suit dry premixes where crystal water would skew assay. Food and pharma specifications differ on heavy metals, microbiology and residual solvents.
Soft-drink and juice plants use it for acidity control and potassium enrichment. Tablet and sachet makers request monograph-aligned material. Technical grades support industrial buffers and mild chelation outside food rules.
Say whether you need monohydrate or anhydrous, food or pharma grade, how many kilos and where it ships. The offer locks grade, pack and documents.

Common questions about potassium citrate
Are potassium citrate and tripotassium citrate the same product?
In commercial procurement, potassium citrate usually means the tribasic salt tripotassium citrate, also written as potassium citrate tribasic. State monohydrate or anhydrous form and the required grade in the enquiry, because those details affect dosing and documentation. Monopotassium and dipotassium citrate are different salts and should be requested by their exact names.
Should I request monohydrate or anhydrous potassium citrate?
Monohydrate is the form most often specified for food, beverage and many formulation uses. Anhydrous material suits dry blends or moisture-sensitive work where crystal water would change assay on a wet basis. Send the form stated on your specification if you already have one.
Which grade should I request for food or beverage use?
Request food grade and send any assay, particle-size, impurity or documentation limits fixed by your quality system. Food-grade potassium citrate is widely used for buffering, acidity regulation and potassium fortification, but suitability still depends on the recipe and process.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State monohydrate or anhydrous form, grade, assay or monograph where relevant, quantity, application and delivery location. Include limits for moisture, heavy metals or other critical parameters when they are fixed by your process so the quotation can be matched more closely.
Is this page for potassium chloride or sodium citrate?
No. This page covers potassium citrate, the tribasic citrate salt also known as tripotassium citrate. Potassium chloride, sodium citrate, trisodium citrate and citric acid are separate products and should be enquired against their own names and specifications.
What packing and documents can be requested?
List the preferred pack format and the product documents your quality system needs. Available packing, specification sheets and other documentation for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation.
How is potassium citrate priced?
Price depends on form, grade, specification, quantity, packing and delivery requirement. Send those details for a current quotation with a stated validity period.
