triszuperfoszfát

Triszuperfoszfát is the Hungarian name for trisodium phosphate, a salt of phosphoric acid with the chemical formula Na3PO4. It is a white, granular or crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. In its anhydrous form, it is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Trisodium phosphate is alkaline and can be used as a cleaning agent, a degreaser, and a food additive.

As a cleaning agent, its alkalinity allows it to saponify fats and oils, making them easier to remove. It is often found in heavy-duty household cleaners, as well as in industrial cleaning applications. Its effectiveness as a degreaser stems from its ability to emulsify grease. In the food industry, trisodium phosphate is designated by the E number E339(iii) and is used as an acidity regulator, a thickening agent, and an emulsifier. It can be found in processed cheeses, baked goods, and some dairy products. It is also used in water treatment to prevent corrosion. Due to its alkaline nature, direct contact with skin and eyes should be avoided, and appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling it.
