What is POLYRINSAN?

It is a formula (food additive) mainly containing polymerized phosphate and orthophosphate. It is widely used as a quality improver for various foods such as meat products, processed seafood products, dairy products, processed agricultural products, beverages, deli foods and the like. We combine a number of functions of polymerized phosphate so that it works most effectively, and can demonstrate excellent quality improvement in small amounts.

Functions of phosphate

A wide range of pH

We have a wide pH range from highly acidic (pH 1.5) to highly alkaline (pH 12.5), pH based on pH unique to phosphate.
The pK values ​​of representative phosphoric acids are shown in the figure below, where each phosphate shows strong buffering power, where in general, pH = pK.
It can be seen that each phosphate has strong buffering power near neutral.

Representative pK values ​​of phosphates

Types of phosphoric acid pK1 pK2 pK3 pK4 pK5
Orthophosphoric acid 2.15 7.20 12.44
Pyrophosphoric acid 0.80 2.64 6.76 9.42
Tripolyphosphoric acid small 2.00 2.30 6.50 9.24

※ pK value “Small” indicates that it is in a strong acidic range.

Excellent buffering properties

Excellent pH buffering power is demonstrated based on the combination of polymerized phosphate and orthophosphate.

pH緩衝曲線

Strong chelating action

It has a strong chelating effect (metal ion sequestering action), suppresses the oxidation / reduction action caused by heavy metal ions and polyvalent metal ions and suppresses discoloration.

▶ chelating action (example with tea)

It is effective for preventing discoloration of tea, fruit juice etc. and stabilizing vitamin C by high chelating action and antioxidant action.

Multivalent anion effect

It acts on proteins in foods and is effective for improving water retentivity (meat products, fishery products, etc.), improving dispersibility (eg milk protein), suspension stabilization (colloidal matter), etc.

Action of unique cations forming each phosphate

Cations forming phosphate such as mineral reinforced (Ca, Fe), yeast food (NH 4, K, (P)), gel formation (K, Ca) of thickening stabilizer (carrageenan, pectin etc.) It has been confirmed that there is action of.
