Potasiyumu diformate ni umunyu wa acide kama, KDF mugihe gito, igizwe na molekile ya acide formique na molekile ya potasiyumu ikorwa na hydrogen ihuza dimer.
Potasiyumu diformate ni aside ikora umunyu, udafite gusa antibacterial no gukura biteza imbere aside irike, ariko kandi ifite uburyohe budasanzwe, umutekano ndetse no kuyitunganya byoroshye.

Potasiyumu itandukanye (Formi)ni impumuro nziza, ibora-byoroshye kandi byoroshye kubyitwaramo.Umuryango w’ubumwe bw’ibihugu by’Uburayi (EU) wemeje ko uteza imbere iterambere rya antibiyotike, kugira ngo ukoreshwe mu biryo bitavugwa.Urwego ntarengwa rwo kwinjiza potasiyumu ni 1.8% nkuko byanditswe n'abayobozi b'ibihugu by’i Burayi bishobora kuzamura ibiro kugera kuri 14%.Difate ya Potasiyumu ikubiyemo ibintu bikora aside irike yubusa kimwe na formate igira ingaruka zikomeye zo kurwanya mikorobe mu gifu ndetse no muri duodenum.Potasiyumu itandukanye no gukura kwayo no guteza imbere ubuzima byagaragaye ko ari ubundi buryo bwo guteza imbere antibiyotike.
Ingaruka yihariye kuri micro flora ifatwa nkuburyo bukuru bwibikorwa.1.8% ya potasiyumu itandukanye mu gukura indyo yingurube nayo yongerera cyane ibiryo byo kugaburira no kugaburira ibiryo byahinduwe cyane aho gukura indyo yingurube byongerewe na 1.8% ya potasiyumu.Yagabanutse kandi pH mu gifu na duodenum.potasiyumu itandukanya 0.9% yagabanije cyane pH ya digesta duodenal.

Potasiyumu Diformate nubundi buryo bushya bwo gukura kwa antibiotique, nkinyongeramusaruro.Imikorere yintungamubiri ninshingano:
