Zimadziwika kuti kuswana nkhumba sikungalimbikitse kukula mwa kudyetsa chakudya chokha. Kudyetsa chakudya chokha sikungakwaniritse zofunikira pa zakudya za nkhumba zomwe zikukula, komanso kumayambitsa kuwononga chuma. Pofuna kusunga zakudya zoyenera komanso chitetezo chabwino cha mthupi cha nkhumba, njira kuyambira kukonza malo a m'mimba mpaka kugaya chakudya ndi kuyamwa imachokera mkati mpaka kunja, zomwe zikutanthauza kuzindikira kuti potaziyamu dicarboxylate imatha kulowa m'malo mwa maantibayotiki ikagwiritsidwa ntchito mosamala komanso popanda zotsalira.

Chifukwa chofunikira chowonjezera potaziyamu dicarboxylate mu chakudya cha nkhumba kuti chikhale cholimbikitsa kukula ndi chitetezo chake komanso mphamvu yake yolimbana ndi mabakiteriya, zomwe zimachokera ku kapangidwe kake kosavuta komanso kapadera ka mamolekyu.

Kagwiridwe ka ntchito ka potassium dicarboxylate kamadalira kagwiridwe kake ka asidi kakang'ono ka organic acid ndi potassium ion, komwe ndi chinthu chofunikira kwambiri kuti EU ivomereze potassium dicarboxylate ngati cholowa m'malo mwa maantibayotiki.

Ma ayoni a potaziyamu m'zinyama nthawi zambiri amasinthasinthana pakati pa maselo ndi madzi amthupi kuti akhalebe olimba. Potaziyamu ndiye cation yayikulu yomwe imasunga ntchito za thupi la maselo. Imachita gawo lofunikira pakusunga kuthamanga kwabwinobwino kwa osmotic ndi acid-base m'thupi, kutenga nawo mbali mu kagayidwe ka shuga ndi mapuloteni, ndikuwonetsetsa kuti minofu ya mitsempha ikugwira ntchito bwino.

Potaziyamu dicarboxylate imachepetsa kuchuluka kwa amine ndi ammonium m'matumbo, imachepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mapuloteni, shuga, wowuma, ndi zina zotero ndi tizilombo toyambitsa matenda m'matumbo, imasunga zakudya ndikuchepetsa ndalama.

Ndikofunikanso kwambiri kupanga chakudya chobiriwira chosagonjetsedwa ndi kuchepetsa mpweya woipa m'chilengedwe. Formic acid ndi potassium formate, zomwe ndi zigawo zazikulu za potassium formate, zimapezeka mwachilengedwe kapena m'matumbo a nkhumba, ndipo pamapeto pake (zosungunuka ndi kusinthidwa kukhala carbon dioxide ndi madzi, zomwe zimatha kuwola kwathunthu, kuchepetsa kutulutsa nayitrogeni ndi phosphorous kuchokera ku mabakiteriya ndi nyama, ndikuyeretsa bwino malo okulirapo a nyama.

Potaziyamu dicarboxylate ndi chinthu chosavuta chochokera ku organic acid ndi formic acid. Sichili ndi kapangidwe kofanana ndi khansa ndipo sichingapangitse mabakiteriya kukana mankhwala. Chingalimbikitse kugaya ndi kuyamwa mapuloteni ndi mphamvu ndi nyama, kusintha kugaya ndi kuyamwa kwa zinthu zosiyanasiyana monga nayitrogeni ndi phosphorous ndi nyama, komanso kusintha kwambiri kulemera kwa nkhumba tsiku ndi tsiku komanso kuchuluka kwa chakudya chomwe chimasinthidwa.

Pakadali pano, zowonjezera zakudya zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ku China zitha kugawidwa m'magulu awiri: zowonjezera zakudya zamtundu wa michere, zowonjezera zakudya wamba, ndi zowonjezera zakudya zamtundu wa mankhwala. Potaziyamu dicarboxylate ndi chakudya chowonjezera chathanzi, chobiriwira komanso chotetezeka chomwe chimalowa m'malo mwa maantibayotiki ndipo chimadziwika ndi msika.
