Chemical Properties
white to off-white crystalline or granular powder
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.
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.

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.
