It is available in hydrated form as a monohydrate and dihydrate and is used as a food additive for its properties as an emulsifier, foaming agent and whipping agent.

 

Manufacturing Processes

Tripotassium phosphate can be manufactured through the reaction between ammonium phosphate and potassium chloride.

(NH4)3PO4 + 3KCl → K3PO4 + 3NH4Cl

Food Industry

Tripotassium phosphate is used as a food additive for its properties as an emulsifier, foaming agent and whipping agent in the food industry. It is used in the production of processed meat products, processed cheeses and canned soups. It is used as an acidity regulator for regulating the acidity or alkalinity of a food. Tripotassium phosphate is even used as an emulsifier agent that forms or preserves a mixture of substances normally incapable of being mixed.
