Sodium tripolyphosphate - uncover the truth of misunderstanding of food additives

 There is a saying in the food industry: Without food additives, there would be no modern food industry. Take a correct view of the food additive sodium tripolyphosphate, add it within the prescribed range of use, and control the correct amount of use, it is harmless to human health and can be eaten with confidence.


There are many rumors on the Internet that food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is bad, saying that there are traces of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, etc., and arsenic can cause systemic chronic poisoning mainly due to skin depigmentation, coloration, keratinization and cancer. There is also a certain amount of fluoride. Low concentrations of fluoride can cause chronic poisoning and skeletal fluorosis, reduce the calcium in the bones, and lead to bone sclerosis and osteoporosis. We just want to say that you don't understand food additives and food grade sodium tripolyphosphate.


Today, let's uncover the misunderstanding of the misunderstanding of the food additive sodium tripolyphosphate. First of all, understand the principles of the use of food additives.

1. It should not cause any health hazards to the human body.

2. The spoilage and deterioration of food should not be concealed.

3. Should not cover up the quality defects of the food itself or in the processing process, or use food additives for the purpose of adulteration, adulteration, or forgery.

4. The nutritional value of the food itself should not be reduced.

5. On the premise of achieving the expected effect, reduce the amount of use in food as much as possible.


Then sodium tripolyphosphate as the food additive has undergone strict toxicity evaluation to ensure safety. How is the safety evaluation of food additives carried out?


China has a unified food safety toxicity evaluation procedure and method, which is revised according to the provisions of the United Nations Codex Alimentarius Commission. Toxicity evaluation has about four stages: acute toxicity test, genetic toxicity test, sub-chronic toxicity test, and chronic toxicity test. After four tests, there is no toxicity before evaluation and selection as food additives. Through these four tests, a maximum non-effect dose is determined, the intake will not cause toxicity, and a maximum daily intake without any toxic manifestations is obtained.


In addition, not anyone or any company can produce food grade sodium tripolyphosphate, and its technology and overall management level must be supervised and evaluated. Only after passing the evaluation and issuing the license can it be produced.

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
