Sodium triphosphate
Sodium triphosphate is a food ingredient that is commonly used in various processed foods. It is a synthetic compound and is not derived from natural sources like plants or dairy. Instead, it is made in a laboratory setting to serve specific functions in food products.
This ingredient is produced by combining sodium with phosphate, creating a compound that helps in maintaining the texture and moisture of food products. Sodium triphosphate is often used as a preservative to extend the shelf life of items like canned soups, seafood, and meats. It is also known for its ability to enhance the tenderness of certain meat products.
When you see sodium triphosphate listed on a food label, it is there to serve various purposes such as improving the texture of processed meats like hot dogs, preventing the discolouration of seafood, or even assisting in maintaining the moisture content of canned vegetables. This ingredient helps in maintaining the quality and appearance of many processed foods that we find on supermarket shelves.
