Overview

E515II - Potassium hydrogen sulphate

Potassium hydrogen sulphate (E515II) is a food-grade acid salt used to control acidity in foods and drinks. Also called potassium bisulphate, it adjusts pH, which helps with taste, texture, and shelf stability when used in small, approved amounts. It is authorized as a food additive in the European Union.

E525 - Potassium hydroxide

Potassium hydroxide (E525) is a strong alkaline ingredient used to control acidity in foods. In tiny, carefully measured amounts it helps keep products stable in taste, color, and texture, and it can also be used to help peel some fruits and vegetables during processing. It’s sometimes listed on labels as potassium hydroxide or E525.
