PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Sodium hexametaphosphate (E452) is an inorganic salt additive used in the food industry. It is a white powder or granules that are highly soluble in water. Sodium hexametaphosphate is a powerful chelator that binds metal ions such as calcium and magnesium and is used to control water hardness, prevent scale formation and improve the texture of products.

Chemical formula: (NaPO₃)₆

Physical properties:

Molecular mass: 611.75 g/mol
Solubility: highly soluble in water.
Production:
Obtained by heat treatment of phosphate salts at high temperatures.

APPLICATIONS

– Meat and fish products: Used to retain moisture in meat and fish products, improving their texture and increasing shelf life. Reduces water loss during freezing, which allows you to preserve the freshness and quality of products.

– Canned food: Helps maintain the consistency and structure of canned vegetables and fruits, preventing them from softening and losing their beneficial properties.

– Beverages: Stabilizes the quality of soft drinks and fruit juices, preventing sediment formation and improving taste characteristics.

– Bakery products: Used to improve the texture and consistency of dough, ensuring softness and airiness of bakery products.

– Water treatment: Sodium hexametaphosphate is used to soften water in the food industry, reducing the content of calcium and magnesium ions, which helps reduce scale formation and improve the quality of water for technological processes.
