Potassium chloride is present in some foods in small amounts. The compound is also used as a food additive to increase the acidity and to stabilize, thicken, or soften some food products, such as jams and jellies and preserves that are artificially sweetened. Many infant formulas also contain potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is also used as a nutrient for yeast cultures and in making beer. The compound is used as a salt substitute for people who are on low-salt (meaning low-sodium) diets. Some brand names of these products are LoSalt , Reheis Less Salt Blend , and Morton Lite Salt . 

Electrodialysis is used in a wide variety of food applications. Throughout the world it is used to remove salt from cheese whey so that the other components of whey can be used as food for humans and animals. In Japan, the mineral composition of cows milk intended for infant formula is altered by electrodialysis to more closely resemble the composition of mother s milk. In Erance, potassium tartrate is removed from wine to prevent its precipitation. In Japan, salt is removed from soy sauce to allow its use by people with hypertension. Salts of organic acids.

Vitamin D has been analyzed in different food samples, including NIST 1849 (infant/adult nutritional formula), ready-to-eat cereal, bread, mushrooms, eggs, yogurt, cheese, fish, butter, milk (RTE infant formula), and premix (mixture of vitamins). After saponification with ethanol and potassium hydroxide, and sequential liquid-liquid extraction steps using ethanol, water, and n-heptane, the food samples were eluted through a disposable SPE silica gel column. The extracted samples were assayed using a methanol and ammonium formate gradient on a UPLC-MS/MS system equipped with an HSS Cjg UPLC (100 x 2.1 mm i.d., 1.8 pm particle size) column at 0.4 mL/min flow rate. The injection volume was 20 pL [92],... 

Modified milks with low protein content, especially those based on demineralised whey, may not contain sufficient zinc, copper and other trace metals, since many trace elements are bound to the protein and are also removed during whey demineralisation, whose purpose is to reduce the excess of sodium and potassium. Supplements of trace elements are frequently poorly absorbed Trace mineral deficiencies may result from otherwise desirable modifications to milk for infant formulae. Pre-term infants are at greatest risk of deficiency, as they have inadequate stores laid down at the time of birth. Human milk provides the safest utilisable source of trace minerals, though preterm infants may require additional supplies. 

Crystalline amino acid bulk solutions are supplied by various manufacturers in various concentrations (e.g., 3.5%, 5%, 7%, 8.5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). Different formulations are tailored for specific age groups (e.g., adults and infants) and disease states (e.g., renal and liver disease). Specialized formulations for patients with renal failure contain higher proportions of essential amino acids. Formulas for patients with hepatic encephalopathy contain higher amounts of branched-chain and lower amounts of aromatic amino acids. However, these specialized formulations should not be used routinely in clinical practice because their efficacy has not been clearly demonstrated. Crystalline amino acid solutions have an acidic pH (pH = 5-7) and may contain inherent electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium, acetate, and phosphate).
