Biological Activity
Potassium carbonate can increase milk fat content and inhibit milk fat synthesis in dairy cows. However, it is ineffective in improving milk fat synthesis inhibition in goats caused by high concentrate intake[1].
Potassium carbonate (0.3% and 0.5%) is an effective substitute for Sodium tripolyphosphate (HY-W019885A). By increasing the pH value and extracting myofibrillar proteins, it significantly improves the color, water-holding capacity and tenderness of fresh pork[2].
