Di Sodium Phosphate - Food Grade

INCI: Disodium Phosphate. Food additive number E339(ii). Disodium Phosphate (DSP) - Certified Food Grade is a high-purity inorganic sodium salt of phosphoric acid, used as a pH buffer, emulsifying salt and stabiliser. It controls caking in powders, modifies texture in cheese and dairy, and holds moisture in meat products.

Key Aspects of Food-Grade Disodium Phosphate:

Functionality: It acts as an emulsifier, pH regulator, and stabilizer in processed foods, particularly in cheese, dairy, and instant puddings. It helps maintain consistent texture and keeps dairy from hardening.

Specification: food-grade, or "certified food grade", means the material complies with the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) or FDA 21 CFR, with controlled limits on impurities such as heavy metals (lead, arsenic).

Forms: It is available in anhydrous (no water) and hydrated forms (dihydrate, heptahydrate, and dodecahydrate).

Applications:

Dairy: Used in processed cheese, condensed milk, and powdered milk.

Bakery/Instant Products: Used as a leavening agent and to improve texture in cakes and instant pudding.

Beverages: Used in flavored drinks and coffee creamer.
