Tripotassium Phosphate (TKP) is a food-grade strongly alkaline potassium phosphate salt used as an emulsifier, buffering agent and quality improver in food processing, particularly in reduced-sodium applications.We supply bulk Tripotassium Phosphate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder and granular forms to meet global food industry demand. Our Tripotassium Phosphate is widely used in processed cheese, dairy products, processed meats, reduced-sodium food formulations and potassium fortification source.
Tripotassium Phosphate (K₃PO₄) is a white, highly water-soluble salt with strong alkalinity (pH ~11.5-12.5). In food it serves as an emulsifying salt for processed cheese, a buffering agent, a quality improver for processed meats and a potassium fortification source.
Preferred over trisodium phosphate in reduced-sodium formulations. Also used in liquid detergents and water treatment.
