Product Description

Product Description
Chemical Name
Monocalcium Phosphate
Molecular Formula
Ca(H2PO4)2, Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O
Molecular Weight
Anhydrous: 234.05; Monohydrate: 252.07
CAS Number
Anhydrous: 7758-23-8; Monohydrate: 10031-30-8
Character
It is white crystalline powder or flaky crystal. Specific gravity is 2.220. When heated to 100℃, it begins to lose crystal water. It is soluble in hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, slightly soluble in water (1.8%).
Uses
In the food industry, Monocalcium Phosphate serves as a raising agent for chemically leavened baked goods, baking powders, prepared cake mixes, self-rising flour, pancake mixes and more. It can also be used as an acidulant and buffer in dry beverage mixes.
Packing
It is packed with polyethylene bag as inner layer, and a compound paper-plastic woven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.
Storage & Transportation
It should be stored in a dry and ventilating warehouse; be cautious to keep away from moisture and hot; unloaded with care, so as to avoid the damage. Furthermore, it should be stored separately from poisonous substances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Monocalcium Phosphate used for in food production?
A1: It is primarily used as a raising (leavening) agent in baked goods, baking powders, pancake mixes, and self-rising flour. Additionally, it acts as an acidulant and buffering agent in dry beverage formulations.
Q2: What is the difference between anhydrous and monohydrate Monocalcium Phosphate?
A2: The main differences lie in their molecular formulas and weights. Anhydrous Monocalcium Phosphate has a formula of Ca(H2PO4)2 and a molecular weight of 234.05, while the monohydrate form contains crystal water (Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O) with a molecular weight of 252.07.
Q3: How soluble is Monocalcium Phosphate in liquids?
A3: Monocalcium Phosphate is slightly soluble in water (1.8%), but it is highly soluble in acids such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
Q4: What are the packaging specifications for shipping?
A4: The standard packaging is a double-layered structure consisting of a polyethylene (PE) bag inner liner and a compound paper-plastic woven bag outer layer, with a net weight of 25kg per bag.
Q5: How should Monocalcium Phosphate be stored?
A5: It must be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep it protected from moisture and high heat, handle with care during transit, and store it separately from toxic or harmful substances.
