- Application Information
- Dipotassium phosphate is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for use in human foods as a sequestrant by the FDA under regulation 21 CFR 182.6285, when used in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice.
- In a separate communication from the FDA (copy available upon request), Dipotassium Phosphate is also considered GRAS for use in food generally, as a multiple purpose food ingredient, up to the limits of Good Manufacturing Practice.
- Coffee Creamers – DKP is an excellent highly soluble buffer for casein based coffee creamers. The use of DKP stabilizes the protein layer around the fat droplets, thus, preventing syneresis and curdling of the protein when added to hot, acidic coffee or tea.
- Nutrient Source – DKP is used as a mineral supplement for pharmaceuticals and as a nutrient source during yeast production and other fermentation processes.
- Process Cheese Products: DKP helps buffer the pH of the cheese and interacts with milk proteins to promote emulsification.
