Descripción

Potassium diformate is a fatty acid that is used for dietary purposes, as it may be helpful in the treatment of pancreatic enzyme deficiencies. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, and other microorganisms. Potassium diformate reacts with sodium hydroxide to form potassium hydroxide, which is then reacted with hydrogen chloride gas to produce potassium chloride. This reaction provides an alternative method for industrial preparation of potassium chloride from potash. Potassium diformate also shows potential use as an antimicrobial agent due to its ability to bind and disrupt bacterial cell membranes.
