Application: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP), has various applications in different industries. Some of the common applications include:
1. Food industry: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) is used as a leavening agent in baked goods, such as bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries. It reacts with acidic components in the dough or batter to release carbon dioxide gas, causing the product to rise and resulting in a lighter texture.
2. Food processing: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) can be used as a food additive in processed foods. It functions as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and binder, improving texture, moisture retention, and shelf life in products like processed meats, cheese, and sauces.
3. Pharmaceutical industry: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) is used as an excipient or a filler in the production of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules. It helps to bind and compress the active ingredients, facilitating the formation of solid dosage forms.
4. Cosmetics and personal care products: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) may be found in certain cosmetics and personal care products, such as toothpaste and antiperspirants. It can act as an emulsifier, stabilizer, or a pH adjuster, ensuring product stability and desired formulation characteristics.
5. Ceramics and glass industry: Sodium aluminum phosphate (SALP) is used as a fluxing agent in the production of ceramics and glass. It is added to lower the melting point of the materials, improve their workability during molding or forming processes, and enhance the flow of molten material.
