Improved methods for potassium fortification in food products and the resulting potassium-fortified food products produced therefrom are provided. The methods of this invention allow significant levels of potassium fortification (i.e., greater than about 10 percent, and even up to about 50 percent, of the current U.S. Daily Values (DV) in a single serving) without the objectionable and unpleasant taste profile normally associated with current methods of potassium fortification.

1. A beverage with potassium fortification having a taste of the same beverage but without potassium fortification, the potassium-fortified beverage comprising a beverage;a potassium-fortifying composition added to the beverage;the potassium-fortifying composition including at least one basic potassium salt and at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt has a higher concentration in the beverage than the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound;the potassium-fortified beverage including an amount of potassium-fortifying composition sufficient to deliver about 1.5 to about 7.4 mg potassium/mL of the potassium-fortified beverage; andabout 3 to about 5 times more of the at least one basic potassium salt than the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound so that the at least one basic potassium salt and the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound are present in relative amounts to provide the potassium-fortified beverage with a total acidity higher than a total acidity of the beverage without potassium fortification, to provide a total acidity difference from the total acidity of the beverage without potassium fortification of about 0.2 or less on a citric acid equivalent basis and to provide a pH of the potassium-fortified beverage within about 1.6 units of the pH of the beverage without potassium fortification so that the potassium fortified beverage has a taste of the same beverage but without potassium fortification;wherein the at least one basic potassium salt is tripotassium citrate, dipotassium citrate, potassium lactate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium glycerophosphate, potassium fumarate, potassium tartrate, potassium bitartrate, potassium sodium tartrate, potassium malate, potassium gluconate, potassium adipate, potassium lactobionate, potassium acetate, dipotassium phosphate, tripotassium phosphate, potassium iodate, potassium iodide, potassium hydroxide, sodium potassium hexametaphosphate, or mixtures thereof; and wherein the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound is potassium bisulfate, monopotassium phosphate, potassium bitartrate, potassium acid pyrophosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, monopotassium citrate, or mixtures thereof. 2. The potassium-fortified beverage as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt is tripotassium citrate, dipotassium citrate, potassium lactate, dipotassium phosphate, potassium gluconate, potassium glycerophosphate, or mixtures thereof. 3. The potassium-fortified beverage as defined in claim 2, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt is tripotassium citrate or dipotassium phosphate. 4. The potassium-fortified beverage as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt is tripotassium citrate, dipotassium citrate, potassium lactate, dipotassium phosphate, potassium gluconate, potassium glycerophosphate, or mixtures thereof and wherein the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound is potassium bisulfate, monopotassium phosphate, potassium acid pyrophosphate, or mixtures thereof. 5. The potassium-fortified beverage as defined in claim 4, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt is tripotassium citrate or dipotassium phosphate. 6. A beverage with potassium fortification having a taste of the same beverage but without potassium fortification, the potassium-fortified beverage comprising a beverage;a potassium-fortifying composition added to the beverage;the potassium-fortifying composition including at least one basic potassium salt and at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound, wherein the at least one basic potassium salt has a higher concentration in the beverage than the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound;the potassium-fortified beverage including an amount of potassium-fortifying composition sufficient to deliver about 1.5 to about 7.4 mg potassium/mL of the potassium-fortified beverage; andabout 3 to about 5 times more of the at least one basic potassium salt than the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound so that the at least one basic potassium salt and the at least one inorganic potassium containing acidic compound are present in relative amounts to provide the potassium-fortified beverage with a total acidity higher than a total acidity of the beverage without potassium fortification, to provide a total acidity difference from the total acidity of the beverage without potassium fortification of about 0.2 or less on a citric acid equivalent basis and to provide a pH of the potassium-fortified beverage within about 1.6 units of the pH of the beverage without potassium fortification so that the potassium fortified beverage has a taste of the same beverage but without potassium fortification.
