AD640LB Potassium Carbonate (lb)

I successfully use this to raise the pH of food stuffs. I bought it in February 2024, and my sensitive nose could not detect any smell. I use it for hydrating faba bean protein concentrate and for an alkaline brine for hydrating beans (1 cup dry beans, 700mL water, 28g salt, 7g K-carb; 8–9 hrs room temp + 10–11 hrs in fridge). I do use a citric acid stop bath (4g/2.5c water) for 5 minutes to freshen the beans up and then they taste great. Now you know my secret!

They help with legs cramps,,,,so we don’t go without them,,,,ask your Dr, about the benefits. You’ll be surprised..

I add a bit of this to my plant feeding regimen to keep the pH from getting too low.

I would reach out to the company before submitting this review, but I saw no way to do so. This is the second time I purchased this product. This time, I noticed a perfumy smell to it that I had not noticed before. Did I just miss it the first time? I don't think so. Especially since I researched K2CO3 and discovered it is supposed to be odorless. I use this for a food product, and do not want any artificial perfumes in it.

I purchased this by mistake, I was supposed to buy calcium chloride, and somehow ended up buying this. With that said, it came in a thick clear plastic bag, the quality was nice, pure white, consistent color, and clearly labeled as the proper chemical compound.

I haven't gotten to do any real testing yet but I have salted some ethanol with it an it seemed to work ok? Cheapest price on Amazon an fastest shipping but still a bit steep but what isn't these days. Everything is at LEAST 2 dollars more then it should be.

This works great as a PH buffer. Raises PH in H20 and it doesn’t take much. So use it sparingly. Especially with smaller amounts of water. Will purchase again and highly recommend this over baking soda. As it can be problematic for plays over time.

I picked this up for my liquid soap making and I’m pleased with the amount of product! I plan to use it for my liquid soap making!
