Sodium hexametaphosphate (English name hexametaphosphate), used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., can improve water retention, increase adhesion, prevent fat oxidation. The inhibition of hmetaphosphate on the growth of crystal surface resulted in the accumulation of supersaturation in the solution, which made spontaneous nucleation easily occur in the solution. In addition, the broken crystals produced when the crystals are contained or cracked fall into the solution, and will grow into impurity crystals with the increase of supersaturation. These two factors may be the reason why the stability of the solution doped with metaphosphate is reduced.
Uses of hexametaphosphate
Sodium hmetaphosphate used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., can improve water retention, increase adhesion, prevent fat oxidation; Used in soy sauce, soy sauce can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten the fermentation period, adjust the taste; Used in fruit drinks, refreshing drinks, can improve juice yield, increase viscosity, inhibit vitamin C decomposition; Used for ice cream can improve the expansion capacity, increase the volume, enhance the emulsification to prevent the damage of the paste, improve the taste and color; For dairy products, beverages to prevent gel precipitation; Adding beer can clarify the liquor and prevent turbidity; Used for canned beans, fruits and vegetables, can stabilize natural pigments, protect food color. In addition, sodium hexametaphosphate solution sprayed on cured meat can improve the anticorrosion performance.
