These all support the formulation of more desirable food products in terms of texture, appearance, performance, shelf-life, and nutrition. Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), tricalcium phosphate is an ingredient that helps foods, food products and food ingredients live up to consumer expectations time and time again, even after sitting in the pantry or refrigerator after purchase.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/media\/2013\/12\/Tricalcium_phosphate-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"chemical formula for tricalcium phosphate\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" \/>Tricalcium phosphate has several properties that make it useful in food formulation. These include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tricalcium phosphate is almost insoluble in water, has a very low flavor profile, and usually comes in a fine white powder.<\/li>\n<li>The chalky texture of tri-calcium phosphate makes it useful as a free-flowing agent, as it has the ability to take up to 10% of its weight in moisture.<\/li>\n<li>Its texture and color properties also make it an effective clouding agent.<\/li>\n<li>Ingredient labels list it as tribasic calcium phosphate, tri-calcium orthophosphate, and precipitated calcium phosphate, or it\u2019s labeled in formulation paperwork as TCP. Tricalcium phosphate is also known as hydroxyapatite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tricalcium phosphate can also be used to meet the nutrition and dietary considerations of consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chemically, tricalcium phosphate is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid. Its primary function in fortification is to increase the calcium content of foods.<\/li>\n<li>Due to its mineral source, tricalcium phosphate can be used in vegan foods and is also allowed in organic products in the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For those who may need to check the additive status for their country, tricalcium phosphate has E-number E341(iii), a subclass of calcium phosphates. It has a CAS Number of 7758-87-4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200b\u200bExamples of how tricalcium phosphate functions in food manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acidity regulator<\/li>\n<li>Adds smoothness and opacity to reduced fat foods and beverages, such as soymilk<\/li>\n<li>Anticaking agent<\/li>\n<li>Buffer<\/li>\n<li>Calcium and phosphorus mineral fortification \u2013 seen in some juices, soy beverages, yogurts, and cereal products<\/li>\n<li>Clouding Agent<\/li>\n<li>Emulsifier<\/li>\n<li>Firming agent \u2013 interacts with gelling agents to strengthen a food structure<\/li>\n<li>Flour Treatment Agent<\/li>\n<li>Humectant in some table salts, sugar, or baking powder<\/li>\n<li>Stabilizer in some fats for frying<\/li>\n<li>Leavening agent in some baked goods and breadings<\/li>\n<li>Mineral salt in cheese products<\/li>\n<li>Thickener<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Looking for tricalcium phosphate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Prospector has material listings from global suppliers, including technical information, sample request capabilities and more. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Food\/search?k=Tricalcium+phosphate&amp;st=1&amp;utm_source=KnowledgeCenter&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=2021fbn&amp;utm_term=TricalciumPhosphate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Search Ingredient Data<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original article date: April 18, 2014 Updated by Jamie Marchetti Nov. 5, 2021 Tricalcium phosphate is an ingredient that is heavily used across many industries \u2013 toothpaste, antacids, bone grafting material, baby powder, water filtration, nutritional supplements and ceramic coatings &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ulprospector.ul.com\/297\/tricalcium-phosphate-food-formulations\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4207,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[236],"ppma_author":[1254],"class_list":{"0":"post-297","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-food-beverage-nutrition","8":"tag-material-overview","9":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tricalcium Phosphate: Facts and examples for food formulations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tricalcium phosphate is heavily used across many industries - from toothpaste to bone grafting material.
