What is the basis for the amount of food additive sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in food processing?
Food additives have greatly promoted the development of the food industry and are known as the soul of the modern food industry, which is mainly because it brings many benefits to the food industry. But the use of food additives should be safe and effective, and the most important thing is to ensure safety.
