E442 - Ammonium phosphatides

Ammonium phosphatides (E442) are emulsifiers that help oil and water mix, most often used to improve the flow and smoothness of chocolate and confectionery. They are made from vegetable oils, phosphoric acid, and ammonia, and used in very small amounts to fine‑tune texture.

E342 - Ammonium phosphate

Ammonium phosphate (E342) is the name for two closely related salts: monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate. In food, they are used in small amounts, mainly to support fermentation and to help stabilize formulations.
