potassium carbonate
Alkaline potash compound
Potassium carbonate is a white salt used in glassmaking, soap production, and as a food additive.
It appears in traditional recipes for ramen noodles and pretzels, where it affects texture and browning.
The compound is alkaline and absorbs moisture readily.
Also called potash or pearl ash.
