Potassium acetate is a chemical compound that contains the element potassium. It is a white, water-soluble solid that can be found in many household items such as fertilizers and soaps. Potassium acetate is used as an electrolyte in biological samples because it has a high redox potential and can be easily detected by various analytical methods. The concentration of potassium acetate in biological samples can be determined by measuring the absorbance at 550 nm. This test is useful for determining the level of potassium in blood plasma or serum, which are often used as indicators of kidney function or heart disease. Potassium acetate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and may be beneficial for people with alopecia areata or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or lupus. Potassium acetate may also have some benefits for people with fatty acid metabolism disorders or who need calcium pantothenate treatment due to vitamin B deficiency.

Potassium acetate is used as deicer to remove snow and ice from the surface and is considered as a replacement for calcium chloride or magnesium chloride. It is used as a food additive; as a buffer in biological research; as extinguishing agent used in class K fire extinguishers and as a catalyst to produce polyurethane polymers. It is utilized for the precipitation of dodecyl sulfate bound proteins thereby removal of proteins from DNA. It plays an important role for preserving tissues, fixation and mummification. .
