Brief Overview
Monocalcium phosphate, or acid calcium phosphate, is an inorganic substance often present as a monohydrate. This compound, colorless and available as granules or powder, serves as a leavening agent within the food industry.
Manufacturing Process
When calcium carbonate reacts with wet processed defluorinated phosphoric acid, it generates monocalcium phosphate. The production of high-purity monocalcium phosphate involves treating calcium phosphate with concentrated phosphoric acid.
