Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate, Anhydrous (TKPP) Powder

Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate, Anhydrous (TKPP) Powder is a hygroscopic, white, powder. It is used for its properties as a buffering agent, dispersing agent, protein modifier, coagulant, sequestrant, and mineral supplement. In pet food, TKPP is used to modify proteins enabling them to solubilize and retain moisture during storage. TKPP also increases shelf life of products by sequestering multivalent cations responsible for lipid oxidation and rancidity development. TKPP helps to buffer the pH of the cheese and interacts with the milk protein to promote emulsification.

In flavored milk powders, liquid TKPP can be added to the wet ingredient mix prior to spray drying. The TKPP will stabilize and disperse the proteins during drying. In addition the use of TKPP will improve the overall viscosity, smoothness, and flavor of the final beverage. In meat processing, this product enhances moisture retention without increasing sodium content.
