What is the role of food grade sodium tripolyphosphate added in meat? The manufacturer tells you
Food additives are inseparable from food processing, and food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is one of these food additives. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate can be added to meat products, beverages, soy sauce, ice cream, etc. What is the role of food grade sodium tripolyphosphate added in meat? The manufacturer Chongqing Chuandong Chemical tells you. 1. Increase the PH of meat After adding food grade sodium tripolyphosphate to meat, the PH value of the meat shifts to alkaline. When the PH value is around 5.5, which is close to the isoelectric point of the meat, the water holding capacity of the meat is the lowest. When the PH value shifts to acid or alkaline, the water holding capacity is increased. Therefore, after adding phosphate, the water retention of meat is improved. 2. It has chelation effect on metal ions in meat Polyphosphate has the effect of chelating with metal ions. After adding food grade sodium tripolyphosphate, the calcium and magnesium ions originally b...
