Main Functions of Phosphates in Process Cheese
Through a typical method of making process cheese
where heat and shear are involved, phosphates contribute Emulsifying
a number of important functionalities to all process Buffer Sequestering creaming
cheese applications: agent ion exchange reaction
◆ Regulating pH for optimum body and texture
◆ Enhancing the solubility of casein (casein peptization) in Orthophosphates ◆◆◆ ◆ 0
water, a phenomenon known as ion exchange capability
◆ Effect in decreasing cross-linking of caseins, which is also Pyrophosphates ◆◆ ◆◆ ◆◆◆
known as the creaming effect
◆ Beneficial improvement in bone mineralization and Polyphosphates ◆ ◆◆◆ ◆◆
bone strength
The longer the chain, the lower the buffering capability and the higher the ion exchange capability.
