Chemical Formula Na₂H₂P₂O₇

Molecular Weight 221.94 g/mol

Sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) is a white, water-soluble, inorganic compound widely used as a food additive and industrial ingredient. In the food industry, it serves as a leavening agent in baked goods, a sequestrant to prevent discoloration in potatoes and canned seafood, and a stabilizer in processed meats to retain moisture. Beyond food, it finds applications in detergents, water treatment, and metal surface conditioning due to its dispersing and chelating properties.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Buffering Agent: Used to maintain pH stability in certain pharmaceutical formulations.
  • Excipient: Serves as a dispersing and stabilizing agent in drug delivery systems.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Sequestrant: Acts as a chelating agent to bind metal ions in chemical processing.
  • Dispersing Agent: Used in various industrial formulations to improve solubility and dispersion of solids.

3. Construction

  • Set Retarder in Cement: SAPP delays the setting time of gypsum and cement, allowing better workability in construction applications.
  • Tile Adhesives: Improves bonding and water retention in cementitious tile adhesives.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Stabilizer in Pesticides & Fertilizers: Helps stabilize formulations and prevents caking in powdered agrochemicals.
  • pH Control Agent: Maintains proper pH levels in agrochemical formulations.

5. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Leavening Agent: Widely used in baking powders for controlled release of carbon dioxide, ensuring proper dough rise.
  • Processing Aid: Prevents discoloration in potatoes, seafood, and canned products.
  • Sequestrant: Binds metal ions to improve texture, color, and stability in processed foods.
