Desc:Food additives are used in food processing in order not to affect the taste, to ensure the quality of the food and its transportation. Phosphate in food additives is a meat product moisture retention agent that effectively activates meat protein. In meat products, it has the functions of maintaining the water retention of meat and enhancing the binding force. In the process of freezing, refrigerating, thawing and heating, the meat will lose a certain amount of water, which will make the meat hard, and lose some soluble protein and other nutrients due to the loss of water. At present, there are several phosphates approved for use in food additives in my country, including sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, trisodium phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and sodium acid pyrophosphate and more.
