Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate: Enhancing Nutrient Bioavailability and Protein Stability in the Food Industry
Oct 23,2024
Description
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate is a colourless or white crystals, or a white crystalline or granular powder; the decahydrate effloresces slightly in dry air.
Uses
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive. In toothpaste and dental floss, tetrasodium pyrophosphate acts as a tartar control agent, serving to remove calcium and magnesium from saliva and thus preventing them from being deposited on teeth. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used in commercial dental rinses before brushing to aid in plaque reduction.
Enhancing Myofibrillar Protein Stability
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate plays a significant role in preserving the physicochemical properties of myofibrillar proteins under conditions of oxidative stress. In studies where porcine myofibrillar proteins are subjected to oxidative environments, Tetrasodium pyrophosphate has shown a protective effect against the damaging impacts of hydroxyl radicals. This enhancement is crucial for maintaining the functionality and structural integrity of proteins in food processing and storage.1
Chronic Health Effects
The following chronic (long-term) health effects can occur atsome time after exposure to Tetrasodium Pyrophosphateand can last for months or years:
Cancer Hazard
According to the information presently available to the NewJersey Department of Health,Tetrasodium Pyrophosphatehas not been tested for its ability to cause cancer in animals.
