Calcium Phosphate Monobasic, MP Biomedicals™
Description
- It is mainly used in fertilizers, as acidulant in baking powders and in wheat flours, mineral supplement for foods and feeds, in enameling.
- Phosphorus is an essential nutrient and therefore is a common component of agricultural fertilizers.
- Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is used in the food industry as a leavening agent to cause baked goods to rise.
- Because it is acidic, when combined with an alkali ingredient, commonly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or potassium bicarbonate, it reacts to produce carbon dioxide and a salt.
