The main uses of sodium hexametaphosphate in the food industry
1. Used as an emulsifier
Sodium hexametaphosphate is widely used in dairy products as an emulsifier. It can make liquids such as milk more stable and improve the taste and texture of the product.
2. Increase the volume and texture of food
Sodium hexametaphosphate can also increase the volume and texture of food. It can absorb liquids and gradually expand during heating, giving food a better texture and taste.
3. Extend food shelf life
Sodium hexametaphosphate can extend the shelf life of food. It can react with trans fatty acids, thereby reducing the degree of food peroxidation, slowing down the rate of food spoilage, and extending the shelf life of food.
4. Improve food taste and taste
Sodium hexametaphosphate is also used as a seasoning agent. It can increase the acidity of food and make it more flavorful. In meat products, it can increase the freshness and special flavor of food.
Sodium hexametaphosphate,also called SHMP, is an inorganic substance with molecular formula (NaPO3) 6. It is a white powder crystal, or a colorless transparent glass sheet or block solid. Soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents. It has strong hygroscopicity. When exposed to the air, it can gradually absorb water and form a viscose. It can form soluble complexes with calcium, magnesium and other metal ions. It is widely used in food and industrial fields.
