Phosphates

Phosphates are chemical compounds containing phosphorus. They play crucial roles in biological systems, industrial processes, and phosphates can be used in a wide variety of applications.

  • Food & Beverage: Phosphates are used as food additives in the food processing industry for various purposes. They can act as emulsifiers, mineral enrichment, stabilizers, leavening agents, and pH regulators in processed foods such as meat products, baked goods, and beverages. Phosphates enhance volume, appearance, and flavor of cakes and pastries.

    Phosphates stabilize milk proteins, aid in thermal processing of milk, adds stability and firmness to flans and mousses, acts as a heat stabilizer, maintains pH regulation, prevents hardening of pumpable and spreadable cheeses, aids in controlling texture and color, aids in the taste of the cheese process.

  • Industrial: Phosphate-based cleaners are used in industrial settings for degreasing, metal surface preparation, and cleaning equipment. They also enhance and retain moisture in products.

    Here are some of the phosphates we currently offer:

    • TCP (Tricalcium Phosphate)
    • DCP (Dicalcium Phosphate)
    • STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate)
    • SHMP (Sodium Hexametaphosphate)
    • SAPP (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate)
