Potassium nitrate, also known as saltpeter, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula KNO3. It is a crystalline salt that is commonly used in the production of fertilizers, fireworks, and as a food preservative. Potassium nitrate is composed of potassium ions (K+) and nitrate ions (NO3-), and is typically a white or colorless solid that is soluble in water. Its chemical properties make it useful in a variety of applications, ranging from agriculture and horticulture to the production of gunpowder and rocket fuel.

Sodium nitrate (NaNO2) is a chemical compound used primarily as a food additive (E250) to prevent botulism. It's also used in various industrial applications, including as a precursor to other chemicals and in some pharmaceuticals. In food preservation, it helps inhibit bacterial growth and contributes to the characteristic flavor and color of cured meats like bacon, ham, and hot dogs. However, excessive consumption of sodium nitrite has been associated with health concerns, such as potentially forming nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Therefore, its use in food products is regulated to ensure safe levels are maintaine
