Food additives are neither "monsters" nor "culprits" of diseases. They should be treated rationally and should not give up eating because of choking. Additives and food additives are different concepts. The application of sodium tripolyphosphate as food additive in food can effectively improve the quality, color, flavor and shape of food, and prolong the storage life of food.

At present, many people object to food additives because they fear that the food with additives is not nutritious and unsafe. However, reasonable food additives can precisely adjust the nutritional structure and achieve the effect of balanced nutrition and supplementary nutrition. In large-scale and modern food production, the correct and standardized use of food additive sodium tripolyphosphate has the following advantages:

(1) Increase the preservation performance of food, extend the shelf life, and prevent spoilage caused by microorganisms and deterioration caused by oxidation;

(2) Improve the color, flavor and texture of food.

(3) It is conducive to the food processing operation and is suitable for mechanized and continuous mass production.

(4) Maintain and improve the nutritional and health value of food.

Attaching importance to food safety has become an important issue to measure people's quality of life and social management level. Therefore, when selecting food grade sodium tripolyphosphate, food processing enterprises should first fully understand its use regulations and strictly implement them. Secondly, the selection of food grade sodium tripolyphosphate shall comply with the following principles:

(1) Do not destroy the nutrients of food, and do not affect the quality and flavor of food;

(2) It is convenient and safe to use, meets the corresponding quality indicators, and does not produce toxic and harmful substances;

(3) Used in food, can be identified by analysis;

(4) It is not allowed to cover up the defects of spoiled food.

In order to meet the needs of food processing, there are more and more kinds of intermediate products of food additives. According to relevant data, there are more than 25000 kinds of food additives in the world, 80% of which are spices, more than 5000 kinds of commonly used additives, about 3000-4000 kinds of directly used products, and 600-1000 kinds of more common ones.

For different food processing, food grade sodium tripolyphosphate can not only strengthen the nutritional function, but also improve many of the nutritional components required by the human body in food. According to national standards, all food additives used in food must be indicated in the ingredient list, so even if you don't know them, it's good to know them when you buy them.
