High-Standard Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate Food Grade - Effective Water Treatment for Food Processing
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate (Na₄P₂O₇), a high-purity inorganic phosphate, is a critical food-grade additive engineered for precision water treatment and multifunctional food stabilization. With ≥98% purity (compliant with FCC/USP standards), this white crystalline powder excels in scale inhibition, pH modulation, and protein modification, ensuring optimized processing efficiency and extended shelf life in dairy, meat, seafood, and beverage applications. Its dual functionality—acting as a water conditioner for industrial equipment and a texture enhancer for food matrices—positions TSPP as an indispensable solution for manufacturers prioritizing operational reliability and product quality.
Functional Benefits
1. Water Treatment & Scale Inhibition
- Metal sequestration: Chelates 1.8–2.2 mmol Ca²⁺/g, preventing limescale in boilers, pipelines, and pasteurizers.
- Dispersant action: Reduces particle agglomeration in processing water by 40% (0.01–0.05% dosage).
- Corrosion control: Forms protective films on steel surfaces, extending equipment lifespan by 20%.
2. pH Stabilization & Buffering
- Alkaline conditioning: Maintains pH 9.5–10.5 in protein-rich systems to prevent acid denaturation.
- Dough optimization: Balances pH in bakery pre-mixes (0.1–0.3% flour basis) for consistent rise.
- Beverage clarity: Stabilizes pH in canned drinks to inhibit metallic aftertastes.
3. Protein & Emulsion Management
- Meat hydration: Boosts water retention in poultry brines by 10–15% (0.2–0.5% solution).
- Dairy emulsification: Prevents fat separation in processed cheese (0.3–0.6% usage).
- Seafood texture: Inhibits struvite crystals in canned crab/lobster (0.05–0.1% w/w).
4. Preservation & Process Efficiency
- Microbial inhibition: Disrupts biofilm formation via calcium chelation (0.05% reduces Pseudomonas by 35%).
- Antioxidant synergy: Enhances rosemary extract efficacy by 50% in cured meats.

2. Meat & Poultry Processing
- Injected meats: 3–5% brines increase yield by 8–12% via protein solubilization.
- Cured products: 0.1–0.2% maintains nitrite stability in bacon/hams.
- Restructured meats: 1–2% binds collagen fibers in low-sodium formulations.
3. Seafood & Aquaculture
- Shrimp processing: 4–6% dip minimizes blackspot formation post-freezing.
- Surimi gels: 0.5–1.0% achieves gel strength ≥900g/cm².
- Canned fish: 0.05–0.15% inhibits struvite crystal growth during storage.
4. Beverage Production
- Juice clarification: 0.005–0.01% removes tannins via colloidal stabilization.
- Plant-based milk: 0.03–0.07% prevents calcium sedimentation in almond/oat bases.
- Brewing: 0.001–0.003% reduces oxalate scaling in fermentation tanks.
5. Bakery & Prepared Foods
