Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP) is a food additive that is commonly used in baked goods, such as cakes, muffins, and bread. It is also used in processed meat products, such as sausages and hot dogs, to improve texture and prevent spoilage.

SAPP is a white, crystalline powder that is water-soluble and has a slightly acidic taste. It is often used as a leavening agent in baking, as it reacts with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps dough and batter rise. This reaction occurs quickly, which makes SAPP a popular choice for commercial baking applications.

In addition to its leavening properties, SAPP is also used as a sequestrant, which means it helps to bind and remove metal ions from food. This can help to prevent discoloration and maintain the quality of processed foods.

While SAPP is generally considered safe for consumption in small amounts, some people may experience allergic reactions or digestive issues after consuming foods that contain this additive. As with any food additive, it is important to read ingredient labels and consume SAPP in moderation.
