Product Overview

Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is a water-soluble inorganic phosphate salt. It delivers nitrogen and phosphorus to support yeast proliferation during fermentation. It is widely adopted in wine and beer production to prevent stuck and sluggish fermentation. It also functions as dough conditioner in bakery processing, and has additional applications across agriculture.

Core Characteristics

1.Provides both nitrogen and phosphorus to support yeast proliferation

2.Fully water-soluble, readily assimilated by yeast

3.No unpleasant taste, does not alter the inherent flavor of fermented beverages

4.Good compatibility with various raw materials in food processing

 

Main Functions

1. In foods

Yeast Nutrient  Fruit juice and wort may lack available nitrogen, which restricts yeast growth and causes stuck or sluggish fermentation. DAP provides bioavailable nitrogen and phosphorus to activate yeast, speed up yeast multiplication, maintain complete fermentation, reduce residual sugar and off-flavors, and improve alcohol conversion efficiency.

Dough Conditioner Enhances gluten strength and improves dough fermentation tolerance, helping baked goods achieve softer texture and uniform volume.

pH buffering It can moderate pH changes within food systems during processing.

 

2. Plant Nutrient

Supplies nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients to promote plant growth and development.

Applications

1.Winemaking (Core Application) Applied in red wine, white wine, fruit wine and berry wine fermentation. It is a common additive to support complete fermentation.

2.Craft Beer & Brewing Industry Added to wort to supplement yeast nutrition, improve fermentation efficiency and preserve clean beer flavor.

3.Industrial Food Fermentation Used as nutrient source for yeast production and other microbial fermentation processes.

4.Bakery Products Used in bread, toast and pastry to optimize fermentation performance and final texture.

5.Agriculture Applied as nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient source for plants.
