Application: Calcium acid pyrophosphate (CAPP), also known as calcium dihydrogen diphosphate, is a commonly used food additive with several applications:

1. Baking industry: Calcium acid pyrophosphate (CAPP) is utilized as a leavening agent in baked goods, including bread, cakes, and pastries. It reacts with baking soda or other alkaline substances to produce carbon dioxide gas, resulting in the expansion and lightening of dough or batter.

2. Food processing: Calcium acid pyrophosphate (CAPP) acts as a pH regulator and stabilizer in various food products, such as processed meats, canned goods, and dairy products. It helps maintain the acidity or alkalinity required for desired flavors, textures, or preservation.

3. Dairy industry: Calcium acid pyrophosphate (CAPP) can chelate calcium ions in cheese production, allowing for better protein and fat emulsification and improved melting characteristics.

4. Meat industry: Calcium acid pyrophosphate (CAPP) is employed as a cure accelerator in cured meat products, such as sausages and hams. It accelerates the reaction between sodium nitrite and meat, developing desirable flavor, color, and preservation.
