Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is an additive to colorless or white crystalline powder. It is used as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and buffer in food processing, and is valued for its ability to improve the texture of food and extend its shelf life. SHMP is widely used in the food industry, including meat products, seafood, beverages, and dairy products.
The main function of SHMP in food is as a chelating agent, which can bind with metal ions to prevent oxidation and discoloration, thereby maintaining the freshness and color of food. In addition, it also helps to improve the solubility and stability of protein and enhance the gel properties of food, such as the water holding capacity and taste of meat in meat products. In beverages, SHMP can prevent sedimentation and turbidity, keeping the product clear and transparent. Due to its versatility, SHMP is an indispensable member of food additives.
