Product Applications
  • Trisodium Phosphate Crystalline (TSPC) and Trisodium Phosphate Anhydrous (TSPA) are generally interchangeable in their applications if allowance is made for the differences in water of hydration.
  • TSPC contains ¼ mole of NaOH per mole of TSP, giving it a slightly higher solution pH than TSPA.
  • Process Cheese and Cheese Products: TSP is used to make a soft process cheese that melts & flows easily at 75-80°C. The TSP sequesters the calcium from the cheese protein causing the protein to dissolve and emulsify the system.
  • Quick Cooking Cereals: The high alkalinity of TSP is advantageous when quicker cooking rates are desirable in cooked breakfast cereals. Increased pH also makes the product more creamy or yellow in color giving a richer appearance.
