Potassium Aspartate

Potassium Propionate is a white crystalline salt that is slightly hygroscopic and soluble in water. It is a salt of propionic acid and is used as a food preservative and antimicrobial agent in the pharmaceutical industry. Potassium Propionate works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, thus extending the shelf life of food products and preventing spoilage. The symbol for Potassium Propionate is KC3H5O2 and its IUPAC name is Potassium propanoate. This API is also known by its synonyms: potassium propionate, potassium propanoate, and potassium propionic acid. In the food industry, it is used as a preservative to prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life of baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as an ingredient in various topical creams and ointments as a mild antiseptic. Overall, Potassium Propionate is a safe and effective ingredient with a long history of use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Potassium Aspartate Attenuates Brain Injury Induced by Controlled Cortical Impact in Rats Through Increasing Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Levels, Na+/K+-ATPase Activity and Reducing Brain Edema

Abstract BACKGROUND Potassium aspartate (PA), as an electrolyte supplement, is widely used in clinical practice. In our previous study, we found PA had neuroprotective effects against apoptosis after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. In this study, we examine whether PA has...
