Chemical properties

Use

●  In the food industry, it is used as a starch modifier, anti-mixing agent for juice drinks, water retention for meat products, adhesives, dispersants, stabilizers, to prevent food discoloration and vitamin decomposition, etc.

●  Sodium trimetaphosphate is used in food industry as starch modifier, juice turbidity preventer, meat binder, dispersant, stabilizer (used in ice cream, cheese, etc.); can prevent food from discoloring and prevent vitamin C from decomposing; also Used as a water softener.

Production method

●  It is obtained by co-heating phosphorus pentoxide and sodium carbonate at 475-500°C.

●  Sodium dihydrogen phosphate method is a simple and commonly used method.
Sodium dihydrogen phosphate method Heat edible sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dehydrate it at 95°C to become anhydrous sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and then send it to a box-type polymerization furnace for heating, melting and polymerization. When the material temperature is 140-200°C, it will be converted into Sodium acid pyrophosphate is converted into cyclic sodium metaphosphate when heated to 260°C, polymerized into sodium trimetaphosphate when heated to 500°C, cooled and crushed to produce edible sodium trimetaphosphate finished product.
