PHOSPHATES Phosphates can have a large number ofdifferent functions in food products.
Salts of phosphoric acid may be either acidicor basic and therefore make excellent buffers.Solutions of poyphosphates have a high pH.Phosphates and polyphosphates havenegative charges (may have multiplenegative charges) in solution and interact withcations and other positively charged species(proteins, gums, etc).

Poly PhosphatesPolyphosphates often used to modifyprotein functionality. Two common onesin use are:
Quadraphos (n= 4 to 8) Hexametaphosphate(n=10-15)
Closer control of n provides better functionalityfrom batch to batch (11-13)(13-15)

Notes on most commonly used
phosphate leavening agentsMono calcium phosphate (MCP)
Most rapid release of CO2 complete during mixing used incombination with slower acting to retain CO2 release duringbaking
Anhydrous coated calcium phosphate (AMCP) cake mixes, selfrising doughDi-calcium phosphate (DCP)
Slowest release of CO2, generally all released during bakingSodium aluminum phosphates(SALP)
Bland flavors
Used in a wide range of bakery productsSodium acid pyrophosphates (SAPP)
AstringentOnly leavening agent usable for refrigerated doughCommonly used for cake doughnut mixes (or with MCP)

Some combinationsCake mixesUse of highly emulsified shortenings, gives finer structureand reduces the amount of leavening agent needed
AMCP & SALP in white and yellow cakes
AMPC and SAPP or DCP in chocolate cakes, since CALP dullsthe chocolate color
Self rising flours AMCP because of stabilityBlends of AMCP SALP give better flavor and more stabilityin conditions of high humidity
Pancake mixesCombinations of MCP+SALP or MCP+SALP+SAPP to providestability during frozen storage. Freeze/thaw stability
Prepared Biscuit mixesBlends of 30-50% AMCP+50-70% SALP or SAPP

Phosphates and the casein system of milkCasein exists in milk as micelles that arestabilizes by colloidal calcium phosphate
Calcium ortho phosphate is involved in theformation and stabilization of the caseinsystemMany of the applications in the processing ofdairy products involves interactions betweenphosphates and the casein or the calcium inthe micelles

Heat stability salt balance (ratio of citrate & phosphate tocalcium and Magnesium) appears to controlheat stability of evaporated milk
Addition of ortho phosphate stabilizesconcentrated milk to retort sterilizationsUHT sterilization of concentrated milk givesdifferent results with phosphates. Agegelation is actually increased by the addition oforthophosphate and inhibited by polyphosphatesMechanisms are very complex and not fullyunderstood.

Milk gels, Puddings & CheesecakeDry mixes are blended with milk, blended andrefrigerated to gelGelation is by the action of:
TSPP in the presence of calcium acetateMCP as the gelation acceleration with acetylatedmonoglyceridesCarrageenan in the presences of TSPP, STP or TSP withan additional calcium phosphate for puddingsInstant cheese cake also used TSPP and MCP. Milk isadded, poured into a graham cracker crust andrefrigerated ready to serve in 15 minutes

Cheese applicationsProcessed cheese requires a calcium sequestering agentto remove calcium from the casein micelle of the cheesein order to emulsifiy the fat and turn the casein into athermal plastic materialIn addition, the citrates and/or phosphates provide abuffering capacity to stabilize the system in the pHrange of 5.4-5.6Blends of phosphates and citrates most commonly used,singly or in combination
Citrates predominate in products made with young cheesePhosphates predominate in products with aged cheese,SALP provides less flavor than DSPSince both young and aged cheeses used in most processedcheese and blend is used

Phosphates In Meat Products Stabilize Color
Polyphosphates (SMPH) provide pH 6.5-6.6 to retardoxidation of natural meat pigments that accelerate at the
normal ph of meat (5.2-6.0Increased Tenderness
Phosphates (SMPH, TSPP) cause dissociation ofactomyosin and improve tenderness of all meats.Action not associated with pHPyrophosphates combine with magnesium to givemuscle relaxation and improve tenderness
