Name: Tricalcium Phosphate Anhydrous (TCP)
Product code：F0004
Formula Ca3(PO4)2; Ca5OH(PO4)3; Ca10(OH)2(PO4)6
Formula wt Ca3(PO4)2 310.18
Formula wt Ca5OH(PO4)3 502.31
Formula wt Ca10(OH)2(PO4)6 1004.61
CAS: [7758-87-4]; CAS: [1306-06-5]; CAS: [62974-97-4]
Description: Mixture of different phosphorus calcium, white powder, odorless, tasteless, relative density 3.18, difficultly soluble in water, easily soluble in diluted hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, steady in air.
Application：In the food industry, tricalcium phosphate is used as a leavening agent, dough conditioner, buffer, texture enhancer, curing agent, nutrient supplement, and chelating agent. It is used as a leavening agent in baked goods and pastries, and as a fermentation aid and buffer in bread and biscuits. It also acts as a pectin gelling agent (to promote gel formation), a nutrient source for yeast, and a texture improver in meat products. In brewing, it can enhance saccharification (the breakdown of starch into sugar) and increase fermentation efficiency.
Certificate: Halal, kosher
