Why should sodium tripolyphosphate be added to food?

 Food additives have greatly promoted the development of food industry, and are known as the soul of modern food industry. Sodium tripolyphosphate, a food additive, is also added to most foods. So why should sodium tripolyphosphate be added to food?

In the process of food production, the rational addition of sodium tripolyphosphate, a food additive, plays a positive role in guaranteeing and improving the quality of food, and can improve its color, aroma, taste and other sensory indicators. Sodium tripolyphosphate, as a food additive, can also improve the nutritional value of food, which is of great significance in promoting nutritional balance and preventing malnutrition.

In addition, sodium tripolyphosphate, a food additive, chelates metal ions with Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺ in solution to form soluble chelates, thus reducing hardness, and is widely used for water purification and softening; peel softener. It can soften the peel of vegetables and fruits quickly, shorten the cooking time and improve the extraction rate of pectin, etc. Anti-discoloration agents and preservatives can promote the decomposition of vitamin C and the fading and discoloration of pigments, prevent the spoilage of meat, poultry and fish, and prolong the storage period of food; Bleaching protectors and deodorants can improve the bleaching effect and remove the odor in metal ions; Antiseptic and bacteriostatic agents. Inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, thus playing a role of antiseptic and bacteriostasis; emulsifier, dispersant of pigment meat powder, anti-stratification agent, thickener. Dispersion or stabilization of insoluble substances in water to prevent adhesion and coagulation of suspension; strong buffer and preservative. Controlling and maintaining a stable range of PH changes can make food taste more delicious. Control acidity, acidification rate, water retaining agent, softening agent and tenderizer. It can enhance the hydration and water retention of meat products, improve the water permeability, promote the softening of food and improve the quality of food, maintain the good flavor of food, and anticoagulant. In dairy products, it can prevent milk from agglutinating when heated and prevent the separation of milk protein from fat and water.
