What it is

Monobasic calcium phosphate is a salt made from calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen. It is typically produced by reacting calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide with phosphoric acid. This process creates a white, crystalline powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use monobasic calcium phosphate as a leavening agent in baked goods, helping them rise and achieve a lighter texture. It also acts as a dough conditioner and a source of calcium and phosphorus in some food products.

Health notes

In the U.S., monobasic calcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated it and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Monobasic calcium phosphate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
