MindMap Gallery Food additive: The function of potassium aluminum sulfate
Potassium aluminum sulfate is a common food additive primarily used as a coagulant and leavening agent. In foods such as bean products and pastries, potassium aluminum sulfate binds with proteins to form a stable gel structure, enhancing the texture of the food. It also promotes gas release, making pastries and other foods more fluffy. Used in moderation, potassium aluminum sulfate is harmless to humans, but excessive intake may adversely affect health.
