Food additives are chemically synthesized or natural substances added to food to improve its quality, color, aroma and taste, as well as to meet the needs of preservation and processing technology. Next, the manufacturer of sodium tripolyphosphate tells you its importance in food processing.

With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, many people feel that the development of food additives has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the state has strict standards for the use and addition of food additives. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate has increased the variety and convenience of food in food processing. Its specific functions are as follows:

Sodium tripolyphosphate is widely used as a food regulator because it can effectively stabilize the liquid phase in the medium within a certain range of PH value and make food taste more delicious.

Sodium tripolyphosphate has the function of dispersing or stabilizing the incompatible substances in water to prevent the adhesion and condensation of suspension, such as emulsification of fat and protein.

Sodium tripolyphosphate can chelate with metal ions Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺ in solution to form soluble chelates, which can prevent food from discoloration and spoilage, prevent or delay the oxidation of unsaturated fat, inhibit the growth of microorganisms and play a role of antisepsis and bacteriostasis.

Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate can be used as water retaining agent, softening agent and tenderizing agent. It can enhance protein and glue globulin. Therefore, it can increase the hydration and water retention of meat products, improve the water permeability, promote the softening of food and improve the quality of food, and maintain the good flavor of food.

Sodium tripolyphosphate can also be used as PH regulator, metal chelating agent, or mixed with other phosphates to form composite phosphates, or can be used alone.
