Sodium Tripolyphosphate (STPP) is a widely used stabilizer and sequestrant in the food industry. It is a white, granular powder with excellent water solubility. STPP is primarily used in meat and seafood processing to enhance water retention, improve texture, and extend shelf life. It acts as a stabilizer by binding metal ions, which helps to maintain the color, flavor, and overall quality of processed food products. Additionally, STPP is utilized in the manufacturing of various dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt, to improve their consistency and stability.
