  • Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP)
    Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP) Sodium acid pyrophosphate (Disodium pyrophosphate) is a buffering and chelating agent, with many food and industrial uses. It is polyvalent, and acts as a Lewis base, so is effective at binding polyvalent cations. It is manufactured by the reaction of sodium carbonate withphosphoric acid. followed by heating of the resulting sodium phosphate to 220 degrees Celsius. Specification: Trisodium Phosphate Anhydrous Identifiers SKU: D9028 Items Spec Food Grade Industrial Grade CAS number: 7758-16-9 HS Code: 2835.22.0000 Purity (as Na2H2P2O7) % ≥ 95 95 Properties % ≤ 0.002 Heavy Metal (as Pb) Molecular formula: Na2H2P2O7 Molar Mass: Arsenic (as) % ≤ 0.0003 221.94g/mol Fluoride (as F) % ≤ 0.005 Density: 1.1-1.3g/cm3 Melting Point: >600 °C 3.5-4.5 3.5-4.5 PH (1% aqueous solution) Appearance: white powder Solubility in Water: Water Insoluble % ≤ 1.0 1.0 11.9 g/100 mL (20°C ) Standard GB 2928-1999 HG 2928-1999 Protection Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids. Packing and Storage In double layer bags of net weight of 25 Kg or 50 Kg, store at a cool, dry and well ventilated place. Applications Food uses Sodium acid pyrophosphate is a GRAS substance for food use. It is used in canned seafood to maintain color and reduce purge[clarification needed] during retorting. Retorting achieves microbial stability with heat.

  • SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE (SAPP) in Produce
    PETITION TO THE NATIONAL ORGANIC STANDARDS BOARD For the Use of SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE (SAPP) In Produce Item A: This Petition supports the International Food Additives Council’s (IFAC) request to amend the National List for “Nonagricultural (nonorganic) substances allowed in or on processed products labeled as ‘organic’ or made with organic (specified ingredients)” under Section 205.605(b). This Petition relates to Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (SAPP) as described in the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), as amended, including alternative nomenclature included therein, as described below. Currently, the National List under Section 205.605(b) provides for the use of SAPP, “for use only as a leavening agent.” This Petition requests an additional use for this substance, namely as a sequestrant to maintain the appearance of cooked and uncooked fruits and vegetables. Item B: (1) COMMON NAME Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate: (OTHER NAMES: Disodium Pyrophosphate; Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate; Acid Sodium Pyrophosphate; Disodium Diphosphate). (2) CONTACT INFORMATION This Petition is submitted by the International Food Additives Council (IFAC), an international association representing manufacturers and suppliers of high quality substances used worldwide as food ingredients. In particular, IFAC’s Phosphates Committee is comprised of domestic and global suppliers of phosphates, used worldwide in food products. The information contained in this Petition was compiled using information provided by the IFAC Phosphates Committee members. Contact Information: Lyn O’Brien Nabors President International Food Additives Council 1100 Johnson Ferry Road Suite 300 Atlanta, GA 30342 Phone: 404-252-3663 Fax: 404-252-0774 Email: [email protected] (3) INTENDED USE OF THE SUBSTANCE As stated above, the purpose of this Petition is to add another use, in addition to leavening in baked goods, for this substance, namely as a sequestrant on cooked or uncooked produce to maintain the appearance and texture of these foods.
