Ferric pyrophosphate CAS#10058-44-3
Solubility in Acids: Easily dissolves in inorganic acids, alkaline solutions, and citric acid, making it ideal for food fortification and supplements.
Taste and Color Neutrality: Releases iron in the stomach without affecting the taste or color of foods, ensuring consumer acceptance.
Stability: Hygroscopic and stable under normal conditions, suitable for various industrial applications.
Selective Solubility: Insoluble in cold water, ensuring controlled iron release in acidic environments.
Ferric pyrophosphate is a yellow-white, odorless powder with a slight iron taste. It dissolves in inorganic acids, alkaline solutions, and citric acid but is insoluble in cold water. This property makes it useful in food fortification and supplements, as it releases iron in the acidic stomach while minimizing taste and color changes in foods. Its stability and selective solubility also suit various industrial applications requiring low moisture interaction.
