Potassium bicarbonate is widely utilized in research focused on:
- Food Industry: It serves as a leavening agent in baking, helping dough to rise by releasing carbon dioxide when heated. This makes baked goods lighter and fluffier.
- Agriculture: Used as a natural fungicide, it helps control powdery mildew and other fungal diseases on crops, promoting healthier plant growth without harmful chemicals.
- Pharmaceuticals: It acts as an antacid to relieve heartburn and indigestion, providing a safer alternative to stronger medications for many patients.
- Environmental Applications: Employed in water treatment processes to neutralize acidic waters, improving water quality for both industrial and residential use.
- Fire Extinguishers: Its effectiveness in suppressing fires, particularly those involving flammable liquids, makes it a valuable component in dry chemical fire extinguishers.
