Calcium dihydrogen phosphate, with the chemical formula of Ca(H₂PO₄)₂, is a colorless or white crystalline powder, odorless, and slightly sour. It is easily soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol. It is often used as a nutritional enhancer, stabilizer, bulking agent, and acidity regulator in the food industry. Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is rich in calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for the human body and are crucial to physiological processes such as bone health, tooth growth, nerve conduction, and energy metabolism.

With the improvement of health awareness, consumers are paying more and more attention to the nutritional content in food. Due to its high calcium content and easy absorption by the human body, calcium dihydrogen phosphate is widely used in dairy products, biscuits, bread, instant cereals and other foods as a calcium fortifier. By adding an appropriate amount of calcium dihydrogen phosphate, it can not only effectively increase the calcium content of food and meet the additional calcium needs of specific groups (such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly), but also promote the balance of food nutrients.
In the process of food processing, controlling the acidity and alkalinity (pH value) of the product is crucial to maintaining the stability, taste and shelf life of the food. As an acidic salt, calcium dihydrogen phosphate can effectively adjust the pH value of food to make the product reach the ideal acidity range. For example, in the production of beverages, jams, jellies and other foods, adding an appropriate amount of calcium dihydrogen phosphate can neutralize some alkaline components, making the product taste softer, while enhancing the stability of the food and preventing the growth of microorganisms.
In the production of baked goods such as cakes and bread, leavening agents are the key to achieving a soft taste of the product. In such applications, calcium dihydrogen phosphate is often used in combination with alkaline substances such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Carbon dioxide gas is produced through acid-base reaction, which causes the dough to expand during baking and forms a porous structure, thus giving the product a light taste. In addition, calcium dihydrogen phosphate can also promote the activity of yeast, accelerate the fermentation process of the dough, and improve baking efficiency.
In the production of dairy products such as cheese and yogurt, calcium dihydrogen phosphate plays a role in stabilizing milk protein. It can combine with calcium ions in milk to form a stable complex, preventing milk protein from aggregating and precipitating during processing, thereby maintaining the texture and taste of the product. At the same time, calcium dihydrogen phosphate can also improve the heat resistance of dairy products, ensuring that the product is not easily denatured or deteriorated during heat treatment.
