Description

Calcium Phosphate Dibasic CAS NO 7757-93-9, also known as dicalcium phosphate (DCP), is an essential inorganic salt widely used as a multifunctional additive. It serves as a critical source of calcium and phosphorus, vital for nutritional fortification and industrial processes. This compound is indispensable for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries seeking a reliable, high-quality mineral supplement and functional excipient.

Application

• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a calcium and phosphorus source in cereals, baked goods, beverages, and infant formula to meet nutritional requirements.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Excipient: Acts as a diluent, filler, and source of essential minerals in tablet and capsule formulations, including dietary supplements.
• Animal Feed Additive: A key nutritional supplement in poultry, swine, and cattle feed to support bone development and metabolic functions.
• Dental Care Products: Employed as a mild abrasive and polishing agent in toothpastes and dental creams.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a leavening agent in baking powder, a dough conditioner, and a stabilizer in various food systems.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Phosphate Dibasic is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. We offer grades compliant with major international standards, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) for food applications and USP/NF (United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary) for pharmaceutical use. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, heavy metal limits, and microbiological data, available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric moisture.
