Food Grade Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate As A Moisture Retainer, Leavening Agent, And Acidity Regulator

What is Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate?

Calcium hydrogen phosphate is a white monoclinic crystalline powder, odorless and tasteless, soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in ethanol. The relative density is 2.32, stable in air, and begins to lose water at 75°C to form calcium hydrogen phosphate.

In the food industry, it is used as a leavening agent, dough improver, buffer, nutritional supplement, stabilizer, emulsifier, stabilizer, etc. For example, it can be used as a leavening agent for flour, cakes, pastries, and baked products, a compound bread improver, and a fried food improver. It can also be used in biscuits, milk powder, cold drinks, and ice cream powder as a nutritional supplement or quality improver.

Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate (CaHPO₄ · 2H₂O), commonly referred to as Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate, is a naturally occurring form of calcium phosphate. It is widely used in the food industry due to its beneficial properties as a moisture retainer, leavening agent, and acidity regulator.

At Joyful Nutritional, we manufacture Food Grade Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate to meet the highest quality standards, ensuring that it is safe, effective, and consistent for use in food applications.

Key Benefits and Functions of Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate

1. Moisture Retainer

Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate is an effective moisture-retaining agent, helping to preserve the moisture content in baked goods and processed foods. This helps to maintain product freshness, texture, and quality throughout the shelf life. In bakery products like bread, cakes, and muffins, it prevents dryness and ensures a soft, moist texture.

2. Leavening Agent

As a leavening agent, Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate plays a critical role in helping baked goods rise by producing carbon dioxide during baking. This results in a lighter, fluffier texture, making it ideal for use in baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and biscuits. Its inclusion in baking powder formulations helps achieve the desired volume and texture in the final product.

3. Acidity Regulator

Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate acts as an acidity regulator, helping to balance the pH levels in food formulations. It is especially useful in products where controlling the acidity or alkalinity is important for maintaining product stability, flavor, and texture. This is crucial in a variety of processed foods and sauces to ensure they maintain their intended taste and appearance.

Applications of Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate

1. Baked Goods and Confectioneries

Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate is commonly used in baking powders, cake mixes, and other baked goods as a leavening agent. It ensures that these products achieve the desired rise, volume, and texture during baking. Its moisture-retaining properties also help keep baked goods soft and fresh for longer periods.

2. Processed Foods

In processed foods, Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate functions as a moisture retainer, helping to maintain the water content and prevent dehydration during storage. This makes it ideal for use in processed meats, canned vegetables, and ready-to-eat meals.

3. Dairy Products

Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate can be used in dairy-based products to enhance texture and regulate acidity. Its ability to control pH levels ensures the stability of products such as processed cheese, yogurts, and milk-based beverages, improving both their shelf life and taste.

4. Nutritional Supplements

As a rich source of both calcium and phosphorus, Calcium Hydrogen Phosphate Dihydrate is often used in nutritional supplements and fortified foods. It provides essential minerals for bone health and overall well-being, making it a valuable ingredient in calcium and phosphorus supplementation.
