Sodium aluminium phosphate is a leavening agent and emulsifier commonly used in baked goods, processed cheese, and frozen foods. It helps control the release of carbon dioxide in baking, improving texture and volume in products like cakes and bread. Additionally, it acts as a stabilizer in processed cheese, preventing separation and ensuring a smooth, uniform consistency.

Industrial Uses


1. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Leavening Agent: Sodium Aluminium Phosphate (SAP) is widely used as a leavening agent in baking powders, cakes, pancakes, and biscuits. It helps control the release of carbon dioxide during baking, ensuring a consistent rise and soft texture in baked goods.
  • Emulsifier: It acts as an emulsifier in processed cheese and dairy products, helping to improve texture, prevent separation, and enhance smoothness in cheese spreads and sauces.
  • Stabilizer & Thickener: SAP helps improve the consistency and viscosity of food formulations, making it useful in processed meats, dairy products, and sauces to maintain a uniform texture and prevent syneresis (water release).

2. Personal Care

  • pH Regulator: Sodium Aluminium Phosphate is used in cosmetics, skincare, and toothpaste as a pH adjuster to maintain the stability and effectiveness of formulations.
  • Binding Agent: It is added to toothpaste and personal care products to enhance binding properties, ensuring that ingredients remain well-dispersed and stable.

3. Animal Healthcare

  • Feed Additive: SAP is sometimes used in animal feed formulations to provide essential phosphates needed for bone health and metabolism in livestock and poultry.
  • Nutrient Source: It helps in mineral supplementation for farm animals, supporting growth, reproduction, and overall well-being.

4. Pharmaceuticals

  • Antacid Component: Sodium Aluminium Phosphate is used in some antacid formulations, helping to neutralize stomach acid and provide relief from indigestion and acid reflux.
  • Excipient in Medications: It is used as an inactive ingredient in pharmaceutical tablets and powders to enhance stability and regulate pH levels in drug formulations.
