We believe that many careful consumers will find the name of sodium tripolyphosphate in the ingredient list of many foods, such as fruit juice, dairy products, cans, instant noodles, ice cream, meat products, etc. Sodium tripolyphosphate is a common water retention agent in food.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is used as water retaining agent, softening and tenderizing agent. It can enhance protein and globulin, so it can increase the hydration and water retention of meat products, improve the water permeability, promote the softening of food, improve the quality of food, and maintain the good flavor of food.
In addition, sodium tripolyphosphate chelates metal ions with metal ions in solution, such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, to form soluble chelates, so as to reduce the hardness, so it is widely used in water purification and softening. Sodium tripolyphosphate can also be used as strong buffer and fresh-keeping agent. It can control and maintain a stable pH range, and make the food taste more delicious. It can control acidity and acidizing speed.
According to China's hygienic standard for the use of food additives (GB2760-2011), the maximum use of sodium tripolyphosphate is 1.0g/kg for canned, fruit juice (fruit flavor) drinks and vegetable protein drinks, and 5.0g/kg for dairy products, poultry meat products, meat products, ice cream and instant noodles. As long as it is used according to regulations, sodium tripolyphosphate is harmless to human body.
The food grade sodium tripolyphosphate produced by Chuandong chemical group has high purity, less impurities and more stable quality.
