In the food industry as potassium citrate buffer, chelating agent, stabilizer, antioxidant, emulsifying agent and flavoring agent. Can be used for milk and milk products, jelly, jam, meat and tinned pastry and cheese emulsification, citrus preservation; pharmaceutical industry for disease of low blood potassium and potassium deficiency and alkalization of urine. It can also be made into high efficiency compound fertilizer, but also can be used in paper making, gold plating and other industries.

In medicine, we will have some of the surrounding urinary stones, and potassium citrate has a role in the prevention of urinary stones, is essential to the drug;

Potassium citrate is the most commonly used to prevent stones drugs, the study found that urine pH and citric acid and urinary stone formation has very close relationship. In acidic urine (pH<5.5), the solubility of uric acid is very low, easy to cause uric acid stones; and in alkaline urine (pH>7), it is very easy to form calcium phosphate or magnesium phosphate stone. 63% of patients with urinary stone and urinary citric acid is lower than the normal value, and potassium citrate can provide a lot of citric acid so as to enhance the urine pH, so for uric acid stones, low citric acid calcium stone disease and renal tubular poisoning caused by calcium stone disease have very significant therapeutic effect. But this can cause the increase of the potassium ion in urine and ammonia ion, which is due to the potassium citrate not only supplement the citric acid, but also the potassium. Because potassium metabolism in the body is very fast, there is no change in the content of potassium in the blood, so it has little effect on the body. The total urine volume, oxalate, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, sulfate and uric acid in patients with uric acid stones were found, and the effect was not affected by potassium citrate. Therefore, potassium citrate has a certain role in medicine, but also the essential elements of our human body.
