Brief Overview
Diammonium phosphate is a water-soluble ammonium salt that is used as a leavening food agent in the food and beverage industry. It is added to yeast to provide essential nitrogen and phosphorus during fermentation processes.
Manufacturing Process
Diammonium phosphate is manufactured by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia in a controlled reaction, where the hot slurry is then cooled, granulated, and sieved. It contains two ammonia molecules, and one of them will revert to ammonia in the alkaline condition, making it an excellent fit for low PH soil.
