📌 Detailed Introduction of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) Food & Pharmaceutical Grade

✔ What is Trisodium Phosphate (TSP)?

Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic phosphate compound that exists in anhydrous and dodecahydrate forms. It is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to its ability to stabilize pH, prevent caking, enhance texture, and act as a chelating agent.

✔ Forms of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) for Food & Pharma

  1. TSP Anhydrous – High-purity, concentrated, and stable phosphate used in pharmaceutical formulations and specialized food processing.

  2. TSP Dodecahydrate – A hydrated form with excellent solubility, ideal for buffering and emulsifying applications in food and beverage industries.


📌 Applications of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) in Food & Pharmaceutical Industry

✔ TSP in the Food Industry

  • pH Regulator – Helps maintain the desired acidity or alkalinity in processed foods and beverages.

  • Emulsifier & Stabilizer – Improves texture and stability in dairy products, processed cheese, meat products, and instant foods.

  • Chelating Agent – Prevents discoloration and oxidation in food, improving shelf life.

  • Water Retention in Meat Processing – Enhances moisture retention in cured meats, sausages, and seafood, preventing dryness.

  • Leavening Agent – Used in baking powders to enhance dough consistency.

  • Anti-Caking Agent – Prevents clumping in powdered food ingredients like seasonings, milk powders, and instant beverages.

✔ TSP in the Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Buffering Agent – Maintains pH balance in pharmaceutical formulations.

  • Laxative Ingredient – Used in certain over-the-counter (OTC) laxatives to cleanse the digestive tract before medical procedures.

  • Electrolyte Replenisher – Provides phosphorus and sodium ions in some medical treatments.

  • Tablet Coating & Stabilizer – Ensures uniform drug formulation and enhances tablet dissolution.


📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials Used:

  • Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄) – Source of phosphorus

  • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) or Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃) – Provides sodium ions

  • Water – Used for hydration in the dodecahydrate form

✔ Production Process:

  1. Reaction – Phosphoric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to form trisodium phosphate.

  2. Crystallization – The solution is crystallized to obtain the desired form (anhydrous or dodecahydrate).

  3. Filtration & Drying – Impurities are removed, and drying ensures high-purity TSP.

  4. Quality Control – The product undergoes strict purity, safety, and compliance testing before packaging.
