FAQs of Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate:
Q: How is Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate used in food processing?
A: It acts as a leavening agent in bakery goods, a sequestrant in canned seafood, and an emulsifier or buffer in potato products, helping maintain texture, pH, and food safety.
Q: What benefits does Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate provide for manufacturers?
A: Its high purity, ISO 22000 & HACCP compliance, and performance stability ensure consistent results, ease of quality control, and suitability for diverse food applications.
Q: When should Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate be added during production?
A: It is typically incorporated at blending or mixing stages to achieve optimal pH control, texture modification, or leavening effect in recipes and formulations.
Q: Where should Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate be stored to ensure shelf stability?
A: Store it in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry area to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its two-year shelf life.
Q: What process ensures the safety and purity of this product?
A: The manufacturing process follows ISO 22000 and HACCP standards, with strict controls on heavy metals (10 ppm Lead, 3 ppm Arsenic), insolubles (0.2%), and purity (98%).
Q: How soluble is Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, and does it affect food products?
A: It is highly soluble in water, releasing phosphate ions quickly, which makes it ideal for efficient blending and rapid action in food matrices, without contributing odor or strong taste.
Q: What makes Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate safe for consumer use?
A: It is non-toxic under normal use conditions, free from significant levels of heavy metals and arsenic, and odorless with a slightly salty taste, making it suitable for regulated food formulations.
