Food Industry:
As a anti-caking agent, tricalcium phosphate is used to prevent powdered food from caking, lumping, or aggregation and improve the fluidity. We can commonly find it in powdered drink, powdered milk, non dairy creamer, instant powders, table salt, spices and etc.
As a nutrition supplement, its applications such as in cereals, dairy products (e.g. yogurt), juices, multivitamins and pharmaceuticals. Its calcium content is higher than that of monocalcium phosphate, which is used as a leavening acid in baking powder.
Feed Industry:
TCP can also be a dietary supplement of calcium and phosphorus in pet food, e.g. in cat and dog food. It benefits cat and dog in building bones, nerve impulse transmission and other benefits.
