Dipotassium phosphate
It is used in foods as a sequestrant, a pH control agent, and a nutrient in fermentation processes. Dipotassium phosphate (K2HPO4) - also phosphoric acid, dipotassium salt; dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate; potassium phosphate, dibasic - is a highly water-soluble salt which is often used as a fertilizer, food additive and buffering agent. It is a common source of phosphorus and potassium. It is used in foods as a sequestrant, a pH control agent, and a nutrient in fermentation processes C78275 - Agent Affecting Blood or Body Fluid > C29730 - Electrolyte Replacement Agent D020011 - Protective Agents > D002327 - Cariostatic Agents D019995 - Laboratory Chemicals > D002021 - Buffers D001697 - Biomedical and Dental Materials Same as: D02403
Disodium phosphate
It is used in foods as a sequestrant, emulsifier, buffering agent, absorbent, pH control agent, protein modifier, source of alkalinity, stabiliser and nutrient supplement. Disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) is a sodium salt of phosphoric acid. It is a white powder that is highly hygroscopic and water soluble. It is therefore used commercially as an anti-caking additive in powdered products. It is also known as disodium hydrogen orthophosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate or sodium phosphate dibasic. It is commercially available in both the hydrated and anhydrous forms. It is used in foods as a sequestrant, emulsifier, buffering agent, absorbent, pH control agent, protein modifier, source of alkalinity, stabiliser and nutrient supplement C78275 - Agent Affecting Blood or Body Fluid > C29730 - Electrolyte Replacement Agent

Hexasodium metaphosphate (P6O186(-))
Emulsifier, texturiser, dietary supplement, sequestrant, binding agent, pig/poultry scald agent, potential food contaminant arising from paper/board packaging. Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is used as a sequestrant and has applications with in a wide variety of industries, including as a food additive in which it is used under the E number E452i. Sodium hexametaphosphate of commerce is typically a mixture of polymeric metaphosphates, of which the hexamer is one, and is usually the compound referred to by this name. It is more correctly termed sodium polymetaphosphate. Emulsifier, texturiser, dietary supplement, sequestrant, binding agent, pig/poultry scald agent, potential food contaminant arising from paper/board packaging

Potassium phosphate (K3PO4)
It is used in food processing as a source of alkalinity, buffering agent, emulsifier, nutrient, protein modifier and stabiliser
Potassium triphosphate (K5(P3O10))
Food contaminant derived from its use as a boiler water additive for the prepn. of steam used in food processing. Texturiser and sequestrant in foods, mainly as the K/Na double salt. PPPi is a salt or acid that contains three phosphate groups ; ; Triphosphoric acid, also tripolyphosphoric acid, with formula H5P3O10, is a condensed form of phosphoric acid.In polyphosphoric acids, it is the next after pyrophosphoric acid, H4P2O7, also called diphosphoric acid.Compounds such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) are esters of triphosphoric acid.; ; Polyphosphates are hydrolyzed into smaller units (orthophosphates) in the gut before absorption, which may induce a metabolic acidosis. The acute toxicity of polyphosphonates is low as the lowest LD50 after oral administration is > 1,000 mg/kg body weight.Polyphosphates are moderately irritating to skin and mucous membrane because of their alkalinity.; ; No mutagenic potential was observed when TTP was tested in a Salmonella/microsome assay (Ames test) and in a chromosomal aberration assay in vitro using a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line (Ishidate et al. 1984). Tetrasodium pyrophosphate was not mutagenic in an in vitro assay using S. cerevisiae strains and S. typhimurium strains with and without the addition of mammalian metabolic activation preparations (IPCS 1982).; ; Reproduction studies in three generations of rats on diets with 0.5\\% TTP were performed. TTP had no effects on fertility or litter size, or on growth or survival on offspring (Hodge 1964). Tetrasodi Food contaminant derived from its use as a boiler water additive for the prepn. of steam used in food processing. Texturiser and sequestrant in foods, mainly as the K/Na double salt
