Properties and Applications:

Tripotassium Phosphate TKP is used for its ability as a strong alkaline salt, protein modifier, emulsifying agent, and buffer capacity. Tripotassium phosphates are highly soluble phosphate salts that can be added to juice as a source of potassium. It is a white, free-flowing granule. The high alkalinity of TKP is advantageous when quicker cooking rates are desirable in cooked breakfast cereals. Increased pH also makes the product more creamy or yellow in color giving a richer appearance.
