China Factory Supply Products CAS 7758-11-4 98%Min Dipotassium Phosphate

Dipotassium Phosphate is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, with an alkaline aqueous solution, and is an inorganic compound widely used as a food additive, fertilizer, and in the pharmaceutical and other fields.

(1) Food industry: As a food additive, it can be used as a buffer, chelating agent, yeast food, flavoring agent, etc. It can adjust the pH value of food, improve the flavor and texture of food, and also prolong the shelf life of food. For example, in beverages, it is used to adjust the acidity; in pasta processing, it helps to control the acidity and alkalinity of the dough.

(2) Pharmaceutical field: It can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient, used in the manufacture of antibiotics such as penicillin and streptomycin, and also used in the production of culture media to provide important nutrient elements such as potassium and phosphorus for the growth of microorganisms.

(3) Agriculture: It is a high - efficiency phosphorus - potassium compound fertilizer, which can provide two important nutrient elements, phosphorus and potassium, for crops, promote the growth and development of crops, enhance the ability to resist lodging and diseases and pests, and improve the yield and quality of crops.

(4) Chemical industry: In chemical production, it is used as a raw material for the manufacture of other potassium salts such as potassium pyrophosphate, and can also be used in the production of detergents, water treatment agents, etc. In water treatment, it can be used as a component of phosphorus - based corrosion inhibitors to play a role in corrosion inhibition and scale prevention.

(1) pH value adjustment: Potassium hydrogen phosphate can dissociate into phosphate ions and potassium ions in aqueous solution. Its phosphate ions have a certain buffering effect, which can adjust the pH value of the solution and keep it stable within a certain range.

(2) Nutrient provision: In the fields of agriculture and microbial culture, it can provide two important nutrient elements, phosphorus and potassium, for plants and microorganisms. Phosphorus is crucial for the root development, photosynthesis, and energy metabolism of plants, while potassium helps enhance the stress resistance of plants and improve their adaptability to adverse environments such as drought and low temperature.

(3) Chelation: Potassium hydrogen phosphate can chelate with some metal ions to form stable chelates. In the food industry, this chelation can prevent the oxidation reaction caused by metal ions, thus prolonging the shelf life of food. In water treatment, it can chelate with metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in water, playing a role in softening water quality and preventing scale formation.

(4) Quality improvement: In food processing, it can improve the texture and taste of food. For example, in dairy products, it can make the product texture more delicate and uniform. In baked goods, it helps regulate the properties of the dough, making the baked bread, cakes, etc. have a better taste and flavor.
