Monosodium Phosphate – Anhydrous, Monohydrate & Dihydrate for Food & Technical Applications

📌 Detailed Introduction of Monosodium Phosphate (MSP)

✔ What is Monosodium Phosphate (MSP)?

Monosodium Phosphate is a phosphate salt that comes in three different hydration forms: anhydrous, monohydrate, and dihydrate. It is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications due to its ability to regulate pH, emulsify fats, and stabilize formulations.

• Anhydrous – No water molecules, highly concentrated and stable form

• Monohydrate – Contains one molecule of water per formula unit, used in various food and industrial applications

• Dihydrate – Contains two water molecules, commonly used in detergents and water treatment

📌 Applications of Monosodium Phosphate (MSP)

✔ MSP in the Food Industry

• pH Regulator: Used to control acidity or alkalinity in food products such as processed cheese, canned foods, meat products, and soft drinks.

• Emulsifier & Stabilizer: In food like ice cream and baked goods, it acts as a stabilizer and emulsifier, improving texture and consistency.

• Sequestrant: Helps in binding metal ions (like calcium and magnesium) in food, preventing oxidation and discoloration in products like fruit juices and confectionery.

• Chelating Agent: Used to sequester metals in food processing to prevent off-flavors, maintain color, and extend shelf life.

✔ MSP in Water Treatment

• pH Adjustment: Used in water treatment processes to adjust the pH of water and prevent scale formation and corrosion.

• Water Softener: It helps in removing calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, improving the efficiency of detergents and cleaning agents.

✔ MSP in Detergent Industry

• Water Softener: Used in laundry and dishwashing detergents to soften water and enhance cleaning efficiency.

• Cleaner: MSP is an effective degreasing agent in industrial cleaning formulations, particularly in heavy-duty detergents.

✔ MSP in Technical Applications

• Buffering Agent: Used in pharmaceutical formulations and technical-grade chemicals for maintaining a stable pH.

• Dispersing Agent: Acts as a dispersing agent in technical applications, including the manufacturing of ceramics and paints.

📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials Used:

• Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄) – Source of phosphorus

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

• Water – Used for hydration in monohydrate and dihydrate forms

✔ Production Process:

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

2. Crystallization – The solution is crystallized to obtain the desired hydration form (anhydrous, monohydrate, or dihydrate).

3. Drying – For anhydrous form, the product undergoes drying to remove water molecules.

4. Purification & Quality Control – The product is tested for purity and compliance with food and technical-grade standards.

Monosodium phosphate which is also known as anhydrous monobasic sodium phosphate and sodium di-hydrogen phosphate, is a compound of di-hydrogen phosphate and sodium. One among plenty of sodium phosphates used very commonly as an industrial chemical. It exists as an anhydrous salt, as well as mono- and dehydrates. The salt is obtained by partial neutralization of phosphoric acid and its reaction with Caustic Soda until the desired PH is obtained.

Applications :
• Mono sodium phosphate is used in process production of baking powders
• Mono sodium phosphate is efficiently used in boiling water treatment
• MSP Forms a dry acidulate & sequestrant for foods, Tidridge Pals
