Sodium hexametaphosphate(SHMP) in food additives can improve the quality and nutritional value of food, improve the sensory properties of food, prevent food spoilage, prolong the shelf life of food, facilitate food processing and improve the utilization rate of raw materials.

In food production, as long as food additives are added in accordance with national standards, consumers can rest assured to eat.
Some people may wonder why food additives must be used. In fact, for modern life, food additives are not only important but also necessary. Because, without them, many foods in life will increase the reproduction of disease bacteria, which is not conducive to health.

SHMP can activate the water retention agent of meat protein effectively. Its existence is actually to make food more delicious, better looking and better quality on the premise of ensuring safety.
No matter how many kinds of food additives there are, the national standards for the use of food additives are strictly limited. Industrial grade SHMP can not be used in food additions, it must be food grade, but also high purity, low heavy metal indicators in line with national standards.
