From leavening to preservation, phosphates are indispensable to food formulation.
Phosphates are versatile additives in food formulation. In baked goods, they serve as leavening agents, aiding dough rise by releasing carbon dioxide. They enhance water retention in processed meats and seafood for juicier results. Used for pH adjustment, they influence texture, color, and taste, often neutralizing acidity in beverages and dairy. Phosphates stabilize emulsions in sauces and cheeses, ensuring even fat and water distribution. They extend shelf life by inhibiting oxidation and microbial growth, maintain stable pH during cooking or storage for flavor and color retention, fortify foods with essential minerals like calcium, and prevent clumping in powdered products.
