Potassium gluconate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

white to off-white crystalline or granular powder

Uses

Replenisher (electrolyte).

Uses

Potassium Gluconate is a nutritional source of potassium used in fortification. it has solubility in water at 20°c of greater than 900 g/l, and a ph of approximately 7.0 at 1% solution. it can be used as a partial replacement for sodium chloride to reduce the level of sodium, such as in cheese and bakery goods.

Uses

Potassium D-gluconate widely used as sequestering compounds for metal ions in alkaline systems. It is used in a newly developed process entitled ARS for the prevention of shrinkage in dyed wool fabric. Potassium gluconate has been shown to elevate lactate production, and ATP content, as well as induce the Hemoglobin (methemoglobin) reduction rate in rat erythrocytes. It is used in cell culture and in large scale applications such as the cleaning of metal surfaces.

Definition

ChEBI: Potassium gluconate is a L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1->7)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1->3)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1->5)-alpha-Kdo.

brand name

Kaon (Savage).

General Description

Potassium Gluconate is a potassium salt of gluconic acid. It is a commonly administered nutrient supplement form of potassium.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potassium D-gluconate, the potassium salt of gluconic acid, is used in cell culture and in large scale applications such as the cleaning of metal surfaces and in fertilizers.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Mddly toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of K2O.
