STPP Sodium Tripolyphosphate Powder Essential Additive For Food Industry

Food Additives High Quality Stpp Sodium Tripolyphosphate Powder Na5P3O10 Manufacturer Supply

Product Description

Sodium tripolyphosphate, STPP, is a chemical often used to soak seafood so that it will appear more firm and glossy. It is also known as pentasodium salt or triphosphoric acid. STPP is also an ingredient in detergents and soaps. Most gel, liquid, tablet, and powder forms of both laundry and dishwasher detergent contain STPP.

Application

Food Industry

• Moisture Retention Agent: STPP can enhance the water-holding capacity of meat and fish products, keeping them moist and tender during processing and storage. For example, in the processing of frozen shrimp, STPP acts as a moisture retention agent by binding with myofibrillar proteins in the shrimp meat to form a stable structure. This helps reduce the damage to cell membranes caused by ice crystals during freezing.
• Quality Improver: It can increase the tenderness and texture of meat, improving the overall flavor and eating experience of food.
• pH Regulator: STPP can also regulate the pH of food, keeping it stable and thereby extending the shelf life of food products.
• Metal Chelating Agent: It can chelate metal ions in food, preventing them from participating in undesirable reactions.

Detergent Industry

• Detergent Builder: STPP is an important builder in synthetic detergents, enhancing the cleaning power of detergents. It has good emulsifying and dispersing properties, which can disperse oils and suspended particles in water, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of detergents.
• Water Softener: STPP is an excellent water softener that can chelate calcium and magnesium ions in water, preventing hard water from affecting the cleaning performance.
• Buffering Agent: During the washing process, STPP can buffer the pH of the solution, allowing the detergent to perform optimally within the appropriate pH range.

Water Treatment

• Scale Inhibitor: STPP has good scale-inhibiting properties. It can chelate with metal ions to prevent calcium and magnesium ions in hard water from forming scale, thereby preventing blockages in pipes and equipment.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: STPP can react with metal surfaces to form a protective phosphate corrosion-resistant film, preventing metal corrosion.
