With the fast pace of modern life, people have become accustomed to a variety of foods. Without food additives, many foods in life would not exist. In China, there are currently more than 2,500 types of food additives allowed. Food grade tetrasodium pyrophosphate is one of these food additives. Chuandong Chemical Group will tell you the use of food additive tetrasodium pyrophosphate in food processing.

Food additive tetrasodium pyrophosphate is a white powder that can be fused with water. It is used as a stabilizer and buffer in food processing. Food grade tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used in the production of soy sauce and fruit juice. Food grade tetrasodium pyrophosphate can improve the color of soy sauce and juice, making the color brighter.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is a more commonly used food additive in the food phosphate series. It is mainly used to adjust pH and act as a moisture retention agent to prevent excessive evaporation of water. It is used for preservation and taste control, which is conducive to quality control in the production process. It can be used alone or in combination with sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate. They both have a good effect of chelating metal ions and can improve the quality of the finished product.

Food additive tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used in food processing as a quality improver, emulsifying dispersant, buffering agent, chelating agent, etc. It has the generality of condensed phosphate, and has obvious chelating and dispersing effects, and can resist flocculation. It can prevent fat oxidation and casein thickening. When the PH value is high, it has the effect of inhibiting food spoilage and fermentation. Sodium pyrophosphate is mainly used for processing meat and aquatic products, which can improve water holding capacity, keep meat tender and stable, and stabilize natural pigments. It can also be used in starch manufacturing, etc. It is used in combination with other condensed phosphates. Sodium pyrophosphate is generally added in food processing at 0.5-3 ‰, and the maximum amount added in aquatic products processing is 3%.

Food additive tetrasodium pyrophosphate produced by Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group has high purity, less impurities and more stable quality.
