TSPP

TSPP refers to Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na4P2O7. It is a salt of pyrophosphoric acid and exists as a white, crystalline powder or granules. TSPP is soluble in water and is commonly used as a food additive, where it functions as an emulsifier, a thickener, and a buffering agent. It is also employed in detergents as a builder and water softener. In industrial applications, TSPP can be found in toothpaste as a tartar control agent and in metal treatment processes. Its ability to chelate metal ions contributes to its effectiveness in various cleaning and treatment applications. TSPP is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies for its use in food.
