Overview

E341II - Dicalcium phosphate

Dicalcium phosphate (E341ii) is a calcium phosphate salt used in foods mainly to stop powders from clumping, help doughs and batters work, and add calcium. It shows up in baking mixes, powdered drinks, and fortified foods, and is considered safe when used as intended by regulators.

E575 - Glucono-delta-lactone

Glucono-delta-lactone (E575) is a mild acid that slowly turns into gluconic acid when mixed with water. Food makers use it to control sourness, help dough rise, and set or firm foods without a sharp drop in pH. It is widely approved for use in the U.S. and the European Union.

Popular questions

What is dicalcium phosphate used for?
In foods, it’s used as an anti-caking agent in powders, a stabiliser/thickener and firming agent, an acidity regulator, and as a source of calcium and phosphorus; it’s also a common tablet excipient in supplements.
Is dicalcium phosphate safe for dogs?
Yes—when included at appropriate levels in complete pet foods it’s generally safe as a calcium/phosphorus source; avoid extra supplementation unless advised by a veterinarian, especially for large-breed puppies where mineral imbalance can harm bone development.
Dicalcium phosphate para que sirve?
En alimentos se usa como antiaglomerante en polvos, estabilizante/espesante y agente de firmeza, regulador de acidez y como fuente de calcio y fósforo.
Is dicalcium phosphate safe for kidneys?
At normal food uses it’s considered safe for people with healthy kidneys, but those with chronic kidney disease should limit phosphate additives because excess phosphorus can accumulate; EFSA set a group ADI of 40 mg/kg body weight/day expressed as phosphorus for phosphates.
Is dicalcium phosphate bad for you?
No—within permitted levels it’s considered safe (phosphate additives have an EFSA group ADI of 40 mg/kg bw/day as phosphorus and are generally recognized as safe by regulators), though high phosphate intake may be a concern for people with kidney disease or on phosphorus-restricted diets.
