Purpose: Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphate Fertilizer grade is mainly used as a high concentration nitrogen phosphorus compound fertilizer; Industrial grade is used for impregnating wood and fabrics to increase their durability. It can also be used as a dry powder fire extinguishing agent and phosphorus for fluorescent lamps; It is also used for printing plate making, manufacturing of electronic tubes, ceramics, enamel, etc., and biochemical treatment of wastewater.

Ammonium hydrogen phosphate dibasic, also known as Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), is a food grade chemical compound commonly used as a fertilizer and food additive. It is a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water and has a slightly acidic taste.

In the food industry, ammonium hydrogen phosphate dibasic is used as a leavening agent in baked goods such as bread, cakes, and pastries. It helps to create a light and fluffy texture by reacting with other ingredients to release carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough or batter to rise.

Ammonium hydrogen phosphate dibasic is also used as a nutrient source for yeast and bacteria in the production of fermented foods such as beer, wine, and cheese. It provides essential nitrogen and phosphorus to support the growth and metabolism of these microorganisms.

Overall, ammonium hydrogen phosphate dibasic is considered safe for use in food and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive. However, excessive consumption may cause digestive discomfort and should be avoided by individuals with kidney problems.
