Sodium Tripolyphosphate For Food

Food Safety: Food-grade sodium tripolyphosphate is a certified food additive known for its excellent food safety. It adheres to food hygiene standards and undergoes rigorous quality control and testing to ensure the safety and healthiness of the food.
Food Preservation: Sodium tripolyphosphate is widely used as a food preservative. It effectively extends the shelf life of food, inhibits microbial growth, and prevents food spoilage. This allows you to enjoy fresher and longer-lasting food.
Flavor Retention: Using food-grade sodium tripolyphosphate helps to maintain the original texture and flavor of food. It improves the tenderness and juiciness of meat, for example. Additionally, it enhances the water-holding capacity of food, making it more flavorful.
Nutrient Preservation: Sodium tripolyphosphate helps preserve the nutritional content in food. It prevents the loss of vitamins and minerals during heating or processing. This way, you can obtain more nutritional value from the food.
Versatile Application: Food-grade sodium tripolyphosphate finds application in various food processing fields. It can be used in meat processing, seafood processing, dairy products, bakery goods, and more. Whether it’s in a home kitchen or a large-scale food processing company, it is a convenient and versatile food additive.

Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP food grade is used as water retaining agent, softening and tenderizing agent. It can enhance protein and globulin, so it can increase the hydration and water retention of meat products, improve the water permeability, promote the softening of food, improve the quality of food, and maintain the good flavor of food.
