What is Potassium Propanoate?
Potassium propanoate is a chemical obtained by neutralizing propionic acid and potassium hydroxide. Natural products exist in fermented foods, human sweat and ruminant digestion.
Solubility: easily soluble in water; soluble in ethanol (OT-42).
Potassium test (IT-27) positive
Positive propionic acid test: Warm the sample with sulfuric acid, and the pungent smell of propionic acid should occur.
Positive organic acid-base salt test: Burn the sample at a lower temperature, and the residual alkali will foam when encountering acid.
