Character

Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate (TSPP) is a Tech Grade Phosphate and Agricultural Grade Phosphate that is commonly used as a sequestrant, emulsifier, and thickening agent in various food products. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly alkaline taste
TSPP is used in a variety of food products, including processed meats, canned vegetables, cheese, and baked goods. In processed meats, it helps to improve the texture and prevent spoilage. In canned vegetables, it helps to maintain color and texture. In cheese, it helps to prevent the cheese from clumping together. In baked goods, it helps to improve texture and increase shelf life.
TSPP is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. However, excessive consumption of TSPP may cause gastrointestinal irritation and other adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to use TSPP in moderation and to follow the recommended usage levels.

White powder; Dissolved in water; Un-dissolved in ethanol; Density: 2.45; Melting point: 890℃;

Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate (TSPP) is a white, crystalline, inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na4P2O7. It is commonly used as a stabilizer in various industrial and food applications due to its ability to bind metal ions and prevent oxidation.

In the food industry, TSPP is used as a sequestrant and emulsifier in processed cheese, canned seafood, and meat products. It also helps to improve the texture and appearance of baked goods, such as cakes and cookies.

In industrial applications, TSPP is used as a water softener and detergent builder in laundry detergents and cleaning products. It is also used in the production of ceramics, as a fluxing agent to lower the melting point of materials.

Overall, TSPP is a versatile stabilizer that helps to improve the quality and stability of a wide range of products.
