Best regards,

Thanks for your reply.  This has certainly helped me.

Potassium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate share the additive number 501
any food containing added potassium bicarbonate sould be labelled with
this additive number

it is most commonly used as a leavening agent and pH buffering agent,
sometimes replacing sodium bicarbonate in low sodium products

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_bicarbonate

Potassium bicarbonate (also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate or
potassium acid carbonate), is a colorless, odorless, slightly basic,
salty substance. The compound is used as a source of carbon dioxide
for leavening in baking, extinguishing fire in powder fire
extinguishers, acting as a reagent, and a strong buffer in
medications. The US FDA recognizes potassium bicarbonate as "generally
recognized as safe". It is used as a base in foods to regulate pH.

Potassium bicarbonate is soluble in water, and is often found added to
bottled water to affect taste; however it is not soluble in alcohol.
Decomposition of the substance occurs between 100°C and 120°C into
K2CO3 (potassium carbonate), H2O (water), and CO2 (carbon dioxide). In
concentrations greater than 0.5%, KHCO3 can have phytotoxic effects on
plants (potassium bicarbonate has widespread use in crops, especially
for neutralizing acidic soil), although there is no evidence of human
carcinogenicity, no adverse effects of overexposure, and no LD50.

Physically, potassium bicarbonate occurs as a crystal or a soft white
granular powder. It has a CAS No [298-14-6]. It is manufactured by
reacting potassium carbonate with carbon dioxide via electrolysis:

K2CO3 + CO2 -> 2 KHCO3 
Potassium bicarbonate is used as a fire suppression agent ("BC
powder") in some dry powder fire extinguishers, as the principial
component of the Purple-K powder. It is the only dry chemical fire
suppression agent recognized by the National Fire Protection
Association for firefighting at airport crash rescue sites. It is
about twice as effective in fire suppression than sodium bicarbonate.
