Phosphates - Complexing agent and acidity regulator
Phosphate
Phosphates are the derivatives of phosphoric acid and are used in particular as an acidity regulator, complexing agent, and melting salt. They regulate the acidity of foods and increase the effect of gelling and thickening agents by binding iron, magnesium, calcium and heavy metal ions in solid complexes. Their complex-forming properties can also relax the structures of proteins and thus stimulate their water retention.
We have the following potassium phosphates (E340), sodium phosphates (E339), calcium phosphate (E341), diphosphates (E450), triphosphates (E451) in our range:
- Dipotassium phosphate, E340
- Disodium phosphate, E339
- Monocalcium phosphate, E341
- Sodium pyrophosphate, E450
- Sodium tripolyphosphate, E451
- Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, E450
- Tricalcium phosphate, E341
- Trisodium phosphate, E339
Industries
Phosphates are used in the food industry as a preservative, acidifier, and feed supplement, also for non-alcoholic flavored drinks, tea, baked goods, coffee creamer, dairy products, fresh and processed cheese, desserts, ice cream, confectionery, and fish products.
