MCP-FEED GRADE-MONO CALCIUM PHOSPHATE
Product Spotlights
Monocalcium phosphate is used as an animal or bird feed additive. This feed additive supplements the feed with phosphorus and calcium that are very important for skeletal development and formation of strong bones as well as normal functioning of energy, protein metabolism, neural, immunity and reproduction systems. This kind of mineral feed additive is especially beneficial for herbivorous animals.
Mono Calcium Phosphate (MCP) is widely used. Its core characteristics are that its aqueous solution is acidic and it is slightly soluble in water, making it an indispensable acidic leavening agent and calcium nutrition fortifier in the food industry.
Main Uses
Food Industry: Leavening agent (baked goods), calcium fortifier, fermentation promoter (brewing, yeast), quality improver (meat products, pectin gelation).
Feed and Agriculture: Mineral supplement (supplying phosphorus and calcium to animals), fertilizer.
Other Industries: Refractory materials, wastewater treatment, ceramics, building materials (cement/concrete).
Food Industry: Core of leavening and nutrition
Efficient leavening agent: In baked goods such as bread, cakes, and biscuits, it is a common acidic component of compound leavening agents (such as baking powder). It reacts with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to produce carbon dioxide, making the dough fluffy and soft, and improving taste and texture.
Calcium nutrition fortifier: As a high-quality source of calcium, it is used in infant formula, milk substitutes, cereal products, and beverages to supplement the essential mineral calcium for the human body.
Fermentation promoter: In brewing and bread making, it can serve as yeast food, providing phosphorus nutrition to yeast, thereby improving fermentation ability and saccharification efficiency, enhancing the flavor of the final product.
Quality improver: In meat products, it acts as a tissue improver, enhancing water retention and texture; in jam and jelly production, it serves as a gelling agent due to its interaction with pectin.
Feed and Agriculture: Mineral Supplementation
Similar to dicalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate is mainly used in feed and agriculture for nutritional supplementation:
Feed additive: In livestock, poultry, and aquaculture (especially fish) feed, it is an efficient mineral supplement, providing animals with easily absorbable phosphorus and calcium, promoting growth and bone development.
Liquid fertilizer: In agriculture, it can be used as a fertilizer, directly supplying phosphorus and calcium nutrients to plants.
Other Industries: From Refractory Materials to Building Materials
Industrial raw material: It can be used in the refractory industry and wastewater treatment. English sources also indicate that it contributes to the production of ceramics, cement, and concrete.
Research field: In laboratories, it is used to study the bone mineralization process, as it is an important component in forming hydroxyapatite, the key mineral of bones.
