Benefits

• Shelf-life enhancement: TKPP significantly extends product shelf life by acting as a preservative in dairy and beverage products and preventing discoloration in fruits, ensuring consistent freshness and quality.
• Moisture retention: it enhances waterholding capacity in aquatic products and dairy drinks, reducing moisture loss and improving texture.
• Enhanced emulsification: TKPP promotes emulsification in products such as ham, sausage and cheese, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture while improving product stability.
• Product stabilization: it stabilizes dairy drinks and processed cheese, maintaining uniformity and preventing separation.
• Sequestration of metal ions: it effectively binds calcium and magnesium ions, preventing undesirable reactions like discoloration and maintaining product quality in food and beverages.
• Lowered dusting: the larger particle size enhances manageability, while minimizing dust formation and airborne particles.
• Protein modification: TKPP modifies proteins in pet food and meat processing, enhancing solubility, moisture retention and texture.
• Improved viscosity and mouthfeel: it enhances the viscosity, smoothness and flavor of dairy drinks and flavored milk powders.
• pH buffering: it buffers the pH in cheese production, stabilizing milk proteins and improving product consistency.
