Popular questions
How does calcium phosphate transfection work?
DNA is mixed with calcium chloride and then added to a phosphate buffer to form fine calcium phosphate–DNA precipitates that attach to cells and are taken up (endocytosis), delivering the genetic material. This is a lab technique and not a food use of E341.
What is mono calcium phosphate?
Monocalcium phosphate [Ca(H2PO4)2], designated E341(i), is an acidic calcium phosphate used as a leavening acid and acidity regulator in baking, and it is relatively water‑soluble.
What is dibasic calcium phosphate?
Dibasic (dicalcium) phosphate [CaHPO4], E341(ii), is a sparingly water‑soluble calcium phosphate used as an anti‑caking agent, buffering agent, and mineral fortificant.
Is calcium phosphate soluble in water?
It depends on the form: monocalcium phosphate is fairly soluble, dicalcium phosphate is sparingly soluble, and tricalcium phosphate is practically insoluble.
What is di calcium phosphate?
Dicalcium phosphate (dibasic calcium phosphate, CaHPO4), E341(ii), is a low‑solubility form used in foods as an anti‑caking agent and as a calcium/phosphate fortificant.
What is calcium acid pyrophosphate?
It’s the food additive E450vii (calcium dihydrogen diphosphate), a calcium phosphate salt used mainly as a leavening acid in baking powders and doughs. It also functions as a stabilizer and sequestrant (and can aid emulsification) in various processed foods.
