Tribasic magnesium phosphate is used as a buffering agent, nutrient additive, and leavening agent in the food industry.
Applications/uses
Nutrient and Dietary Supplement: It is added to food products to fortify them with essential minerals, contributing to overall health and well-being. Common fortified foods include infant formulas, cereals, and nutritional beverages.
Anti-Caking Agent: Its ability to absorb moisture helps prevent powdered food products (like instant soups, seasonings, and powdered milk) from forming lumps or clumps, ensuring they remain free-flowing.
pH Control Agent/Acidity Regulator/Buffer: It helps maintain optimal acidity or alkalinity in various food products, which is crucial for taste, texture, stability, and shelf life.
Stabilizer and Emulsifier: It contributes to the stability of food products by improving texture and consistency, preventing ingredient separation (e.g., in dairy products), and enhancing the texture of baked goods as a leavening agent.
Dietary Supplement: It is used as a source of magnesium and phosphate in various supplements to address mineral deficiencies, support bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission.
Antacid: It can act as an antacid, helping to neutralize excess stomach acid and providing relief from heartburn and upset stomach.
Excipient: It is commonly incorporated into solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules. In this role, it acts as a:
Binder: Helps bind the active ingredients together.
Diluent/Filler: Adds bulk or volume to formulations.
Buffering Agent: Helps stabilize the pH levels of drug formulations.
Therapeutic Applications: Magnesium phosphate is also explored in therapeutic applications due to magnesium's vital role in cardiovascular health and muscle relaxation, sometimes used to manage symptoms like muscle cramps and migraines.
