Since 1986, ALVAREZ HNOS. represents and distributes BUDENHEIM (Germany) phosphates. Food grade and pharmaceutical. These are phosphates of very high purity both in active substance and in their low content of heavy metals.
Buffer capacity:
To stabilize the food.
Secuestrant:
The sequestration of cations like Ca and Mg, important in the elaboration of meat and dairy products; Sequestration of heavy metals (Iron and Copper) that inhibit oxidation and retard rancidity, important in the processing of fishing products, birds, vegetables and fruits.
Stabilization of dispersions, emulsions and suspensions:
Due to their negative surface charge, they influence the water retention capacity, in meat products, and gel formation in dairy products.
Bacteriostatic effects:
Due to the length of polyphosphate chain. Especially used in processed cheeses.
Anti-humectant agent:
Tricalcium phosphate, to keep the hygroscopic powders flowing, capturing excess moisture.
Mineral enrichment:
In Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Zinc, applications in drinks, dairy and baby food.
Leavening agents:
We have fast or slow reaction phosphates according to specific requirements, giving the mass volume and fluffiness.
