Overview

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.

E527 - Ammonium hydroxide

Ammonium hydroxide (E527) is a water solution of ammonia used in tiny amounts to control acidity and help keep some foods safe during processing. It can also take part in making certain caramel colors and is tightly regulated in both the U.S. and EU.
