White odorless powder. Insoluble in water, soluble in hydrochloric acid.
Sodium Aluminum Phosphate (SALP) is a white, odorless powder that is commonly used as a leavening agent in baking. Its chemical formula is Na3Al2H15(PO4)8, and it is also known as sodium aluminum phosphate dodecahydrate.
SALP is a combination of sodium, aluminum, phosphate, and hydrogen. It is commonly used in baking powder and self-rising flour to help dough rise and create a light, fluffy texture in baked goods. SALP reacts with heat and moisture to release carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough to rise.
SALP is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is widely used in the food industry. However, excessive consumption of SALP can cause gastrointestinal distress and other health problems.…
