Phosphates are used in most food applications. In process cheese applications they are used for emulsification and in pH control. In processed meat applications, phosphates ensure the best flavor, texture, and color. In baking, phosphates act as a leavening agent and work with baking soda to control the release of gas. Phosphates are sold in dried and liquid forms. For more information please call Kelley Supply, Inc. and ask to speak to our food ingredients product manager for proper application.
