Calcium Phosphate Monobasic, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Calcium Phosphate Monobasic, White Powder

• It is mainly used in fertilizers, as acidulant in baking powders and in wheat flours, mineral supplement for foods and feeds, in enameling.
• Phosphorus is an essential nutrient and therefore is a common component of agricultural fertilizers.
• Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is used in the food industry as a leavening agent to cause baked goods to rise.
• Because it is acidic, when combined with an alkali ingredient, commonly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or potassium bicarbonate, it reacts to produce carbon dioxide and a salt.
