Monopotassium Phosphate (E340(i))

Monopotassium Phosphate Monopotassium phosphate is an inorganic phosphate salt manufactured through controlled neutralization of phosphoric acid with potassium hydroxide, used as a buffering agent, sequestrant, low-sodium leavening acid, and mineral fortifier that stabilizes pH, chelates metal ions, and provides bioavailable potassium and phosphorus nutrition. In the food industry, it offers potassium enrichment without sodium addition, gentle acidity (pH 4.4-4.7 in solution), superior solubility for dry mixes, and heat stability up to 200°C ideal for reduced-sodium bakery, beverages, and protein-fortified formulations.
