valued in both the food and cosmetics industries for its functional properties
Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO₄·2H₂O) is valued in both the food and cosmetics industries for its functional properties:
In Food Applications
- Nutrient Supplementation: It serves as a source of calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals in human nutrition. It is often added to fortified foods and beverages.
- Food Additive: Due to its inert and non-toxic nature, it is used as an anticaking agent and stabilizer in powdered food products.
- Processing Aid: It can act as a binder or filler in the manufacture of tablets and other food formulations, helping to maintain consistency and texture.
In Cosmetics
- Mild Abrasive: Its fine particle size makes it an effective gentle abrasive in toothpaste and facial cleansers, aiding in the removal of plaque and dead skin cells without damaging surfaces.
- Filler/Thickener: It is incorporated into various cosmetic formulations (like powders and creams) to enhance texture, improve spreadability, and stabilize the product.
- Safe and Inert: Its GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status supports its use in formulations applied to the skin and oral cavity.
