Phosphates for food use

Product name: Food grade trisodium phosphate (TSP)
Nickname: trisodium
Chemical formula: Na3PO4, Na3PO4 · H2O, Na3PO4 · 12H2O
Molecular weight: Anhydrous 163.94; Monohydrate 181.96; Twelve water substances 380.18
CAS: Anhydrous matter: 7601-54-9; Twelve water substances: 10101-89-0
Appearance: White powder or crystalline particles or colorless crystals. Soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents; When the temperature of twelve water molecules exceeds 212 ℃, they lose twelve crystalline water molecules and become anhydrous (Na3PO4). The aqueous solution is alkaline and has a certain corrosive effect on the skin
Usage: As a product quality improver, it can enhance the complexation of metal ions, pH value, and increase ion strength in food, thereby improving the adhesion and water holding capacity of food. In meat products, it can maintain the water holding capacity of meat, enhance adhesion, reduce the loss of nutrients in meat, and preserve the softness of meat. It is also used as an emulsifier and nutritional supplement, and is a raw material for preparing alkaline water for pasta. It is also used for sugar refining and α- The manufacturing of starch.
