Product Introduction

Tricalcium phosphate is primarily composed of three calcium ions and one phosphate ion, making it an important source of calcium. This additive is typically derived from natural mineral sources or synthesized for various food applications. It is widely used in the food industry for its functionality as an anti-caking agent, which helps keep powdered foods free-flowing. Additionally, it serves as an essential nutrient supplement in dietary products, contributing to calcium intake for bone health.

Production Process

Tricalcium phosphate is produced through the neutralization of phosphoric acid with calcium-containing compounds, such as calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. The resulting precipitate is then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a fine powder. This process ensures a consistent purity level and a product that meets food safety standards.

Product Application Scenarios

Tricalcium phosphate can be found in various applications, including powdered food products, nutritional supplements, and processed cheese. It is also utilized in infant formulas as a calcium source and is often added to multivitamins for its mineral content. Furthermore, it acts as an anti-caking agent in formulations like dry beverage mixes and spice blends.
