Ingurube ntizishobora kugaburirwa ibiryo gusa kugira ngo zikure neza. Kugaburira ibiryo gusa ntibishobora guhaza intungamubiri zikenewe n'ingurube zikura, ahubwo binatera gusesagura umutungo. Kugira ngo ingurube zikomeze kugira imirire myiza n'ubudahangarwa bwiza, inzira yo kunoza ibidukikije by'amara kugeza ku igogora no kwinjiza ni iyo kuva imbere kugeza inyuma, ari na yo yo kumenya ko potasiyumu isanzwe ishobora gusimbura imiti yica udukoko mu buryo bwizewe kandi nta bisigazwa.

Impamvu y'ingenzi itumapotasiyumu dicarboxylateYongerwa ku biryo by'ingurube nk'ikintu gitera iterambere ry'ingurube ni umutekano wayo n'ingaruka zayo zo kurwanya udukoko, byombi bishingiye ku miterere yayo yoroshye kandi yihariye ya molekile.

Uburyo bw'ibikorwa byapotasiyumu diformateahanini ni igikorwa cya aside formike ntoya y’umwimerere na iyoni ya potasiyumu, ari nabyo by’ibanze mu kwemeza potassium dicarboxylate nk'umuti usimbura imiti yica udukoko.

Iyoni za potasiyumu mu nyamaswa zihora zihanahana hagati y’uturemangingo n’amazi yo mu mubiri kugira ngo zigumane uburimbane buhamye. Potasiyumu ni yo cation nyamukuru ikomeza ibikorwa by’umubiri by’uturemangingo. Igira uruhare runini mu kubungabunga umuvuduko usanzwe wa osmotic n’uburinganire bwa aside-base bw’umubiri, igira uruhare mu isukari na poroteyine metabolism, kandi ikagenzura imikorere isanzwe y’uturemangingo tw’imitsi n’imitsi.

Potasiyumu igabanya ingano ya amine na ammonium mu mara, igabanya ikoreshwa rya poroteyine, isukari, ibinyabutabire, nibindi n'udukoko two mu mara, izigama imirire, kandi ikagabanya ikiguzi.

Ni ngombwa kandi gutanga ibiryo by’icyatsi kibisi bidakira no kugabanya imyuka ihumanya ikirere. Ibice by’ingenzi bya potasiyumu dicarboxylate, aside formike na formate ya potasiyumu, biboneka mu buryo busanzwe cyangwa mu mara y’ingurube. Amaherezo (metabolisme ya oxidative mu mwijima), birahinduka dioxyde de carbone na amazi, bishobora kubora burundu, bigabanye isohoka rya azote na fosifore mu bagiteri n’inyamaswa, kandi bigasukura neza ibidukikije bikuramo inyamaswa.

Potasiyumu ihindukani ikomoka kuri aside formike yoroheje ya aside organic. Nta miterere ifite isa na kanseri kandi ntabwo itera ubudahangarwa bwa bagiteri. Ishobora guteza imbere igogora no kwinjiza poroteyine n'ingufu mu nyamaswa, ikongera igogora no kwinjiza azote, fosifore n'ibindi bice by'umubiri by'inyamaswa, kandi yongera cyane ibiro by'ingurube buri munsi n'umuvuduko wo guhindura ibiryo byazo.

Muri iki gihe, inyongeramusaruro zikoreshwa cyane mu Bushinwa zishobora kugabanywamo ibice bibiri: inyongeramusaruro z’ibiryo by’intungamubiri, inyongeramusaruro rusange n’inyongeramusaruro z’ibiryo by’imiti mu bijyanye n’imikorere yazo. Mu gihe cy’ "itegeko ryo kurwanya imiti", imiti itera imbaraga zo gukura kwa antibiyotike irimo imiti nayo izahagarikwa.Potasiyumu ihindukaIsoko ryemera ko ari inyongeramusaruro nziza, y’icyatsi kibisi kandi yizewe mu buryo busimbura imiti yica udukoko.
