CAS No: 7758-23-8
Chemical Name: calcium dihydrogen phosphate, monohydrate
Molecular Formula: Ca(H2PO4)2¡¤H2O
Molecular Weight: 252.07
Chemical Structure:
Monocalcium phosphate is commonly
found as the monohydrate, which releases a water molecule
when it is heated to 109 ¡ãC.
Monocalcium phosphate is used in the food industry as
leavening agent to cause baked goods to rise. Because
it is acidic, when combined with an alkali ingredient
¨C commonly sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate
¨C it reacts to produce carbon dioxide and a salt. The
carbon dioxide gas is what leavens the baked good. When
combined in a ready-made baking powder, the acid and
alkali ingredients are included in the right proportions
such that they will exactly neutralize each other and
not significantly affect the overall pH of the product.
Apart from acting as leavening agent, it also inhibits
microbial activity because of the phosphate ions present
in the molecule.
Standards: inner standard
Packing: 25kg / bag
Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored
in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
Dicalcium Phosphate
CAS No: 7789-77-7 (dihydrate)
Chemical Name: calcium monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrate
Molecular Formula: CaHPO4¡¤2H2O
Molecular Weight: 172.09
Chemical Structure:
Dicalcium Phosphate is usually
found as the dihydrate, but it can be thermally converted
to the anhydrous form. It contains about 23 percent
calcium in its anhydrous form, and is mainly used as
a dietary supplement in prepared breakfast cereals,
enriched flour and noodle products.
It is also used as frictional agent for making top quality
tooth paste, especially foaming type tooth paste.
It is also used as a tableting agent in some pharmaceutical
preparations.
Standards: FCC IV
Packing: 25kg / bag
Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored
in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
Tricalcium Phosphate
CAS No: 7758-87-4
Chemical Name: ----
Molecular Formula: Ca3(PO4)2¡¤H2O
Molecular Weight: 328.20
Chemical Structure:
Tricalcium phosphate is used
in powdered spices as an anti-caking agent. Calcium
phosphate is also a raising agent. it is used in cheese
products. It is also used as a nutritional supplement,
and medically as an antacid or calcium supplement, although
calcium carbonate is more common in this regard.
Standards: FCC IV
Packing: 25kg / bag
Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored
in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
