1.What is Tricalcium Phosphate?

Tricalcium phosphate is a safe nutrient fortifier, mainly added to food to strengthen the intake of calcium, can also be used to prevent or treat the symptoms of calcium deficiency. At the same time, tricalcium phosphate can also be used as anti-caking agent, PH value regulator, buffering agent in food. For example, it can be used as anti-caking agent (dispersant) in flour, milk powder, candy, pudding, seasoning, meat additives, animal oil refining auxiliaries, yeast foodstuffs and so on. Microencapsulated tricalcium phosphate, one of the best calcium sources for human body. Microencapsulated Calcium (LIPOCAL), produced by Lipofoods, Spain, is a kind of calcium product which takes tricalcium phosphate as raw material, and then wraps it with lecithin to form a microcapsule with a diameter of 3-5 micrometers after ultra-fine powdering.

2.How is Tricalcium Phosphate produced?

The current standard "Food Additives: Tricalcium Phosphate (GB 25558-2010)" applies to the food additive tricalcium phosphate produced from calcium hydroxide (or calcium carbonate) and thermal phosphoric acid as raw materials or the food additive tricalcium phosphate produced from calcium chloride solution and trisodium phosphate as raw materials. 1、Calcined from calcium superphosphate, then cooled, crushed and sieved to 180 mesh after defluorination and desulfurization treatment, calcium phosphate for feed is obtained. 2, sodium phosphate solution in the presence of excess ammonia and the appropriate amount of calcium chloride saturated solution for the reaction, precipitation of insoluble calcium phosphate, after filtration, washing, drying, to get calcium phosphate finished products. 3、Saturated lime milk solution reacts with hot concentrated phosphoric acid at pH 8.1 or above to produce tricalcium phosphate precipitate.

3.How is Tricalcium Phosphate stored and distributed?

Store under dry inert gas, keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry place Packed in galvanized iron drums. Store in a cool, ventilated place. The storage should be dedicated and not mixed with other items. Pay attention to fire prevention. Polymerization inhibitor should be added before storage and transportation. Before transportation, check whether the packing container is complete and sealed, and make sure the container is not leaking, collapsing, falling or damaged during transportation. Strictly prohibit mixing and transporting with oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, edible chemicals and so on. The transport vehicle and ship must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized, otherwise it is not allowed to ship other items. When transported by ship, the fitting position should be far away from bedrooms, kitchens, and isolated from the cabin, power supply, fire source and other parts. Road transportation should follow the prescribed route.

4.What is Tricalcium Phosphate used for?

1. Tricalcium phosphate is a safe nutrient fortifier and is harmless to the average consumer. It is not harmful to the body when used in moderation, and may produce systemic toxic effects only when the dose is very large. 2, tricalcium phosphate may cause occupational hazards to manufacturing workers in the process of production, processing and use. Attention to protective measures and timely response methods are required when contacting calcium phosphate powder. 3、It is a safe nutrient fortifier, mainly added to food to strengthen the intake of calcium, can also be used to prevent or treat the symptoms of calcium deficiency. Meanwhile, tricalcium phosphate can also be used as anti-caking agent in food.
