Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate in China plays an important role in food grade processing technology:

1. Cheating

2. Change the PH value

3. Emulsification and dispersion

4. Dissociate actomyosin in meat

5. Improve the ionic strength of food

With food grade sodium hexametaphosphate, there are now colorful foods. Therefore, the necessity of food additives in food production and processing is self-evident. Imagine a life without food additives, biscuits can be so hard that they can knock out their teeth.

When government departments formulate and improve the standards for the use of food additives, they also place higher requirements on food manufacturers.
