Tag: Disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate

Disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, also known as SAPP or E450(i), is a key ingredient in many processed foods, acting as a leavening agent. This white, crystalline powder is an inorganic compound, with its synthesis fundamentally relying on the heating and dehydration of sodium dihydrogen phosphate.

Food additives like disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate (SAPP) are used in many processed foods. The FDA considers SAPP generally safe within set limits, but its impact on health is often questioned.
