Dairy Products: Used to stabilise proteins and prevent coagulation or separation in dairy, coffee creamers, and dairy-alternative milks.
Beverages: Serves as a pH regulator and flavour enhancer in sports drinks and nutritional powders.
Baked Goods & Meats: Acts as a yeast food in fermentation, a dough conditioner, and a water-retaining agent to improve texture.
Health & SafetyDietary Source: It provides a highly bioavailable source of both potassium and phosphorus.
Safety & Regulatory Status: It is broadly recognised as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used under Good Manufacturing Practices.
Medical Considerations: Because of its high absorption, individuals with pre-existing kidney or cardiovascular conditions may need to monitor their intake of inorganic phosphates
Di Potassium Phosphate DKP – FG 25kg
Dipotassium Phosphate (DKP) has been used in food production for decades and is made by reacting a source of potassium (usually potassium hydroxide) with phosphoric acid.
Food-grade phosphoric acid is made from phosphate rocks, which are mined, refined and purified. Companies that make phosphoric acid in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere follow strict procedures to ensure purity.
The phosphoric acid is reacted with potassium hydroxide and lime water to form a wet mix.
The resulting reaction creates potassium phosphate, which is then dried and crystalized.
Finally the product is sized down to specifications.
Food grade phosphates that are manufactured in the United States comply with the new regulations for food safety as set forth in the Food Safety Modernization Act.
Vegetarian/Vegan – DKP does not contain any animal or other biological sources so it can be considered suitable for a vegan/vegetarian diet.
