Monocalcium+Phosphate

=**Monocalcium Phosphate**=

Monocalcium phosphate is a non-toxic chemical compound that consists mostly of phosphorus and calcium (approximate ratio of phosphorus to calcium is 1:0.8). Sometimes, it is a leavening agent that is used in the food industry. Other times, it is a fertilizer used by the food industry. Because it is acidic, it is also sometimes used instead of baking soda, which is alkalic. Monocalcium phosphate is an antimicrobial due to the ions inside of it. Producers of certain bird/poultry feeds use monocalcium phosphate because it contains minerals that are necessary for different growths of the bird's body, such as reproduction, development for sturdy bones, metabolism for the albumen (egg white), nervous and immunity systems, and simple operations of energy. Its many minerals can also provide beneficial growth to almost any herbivore animal. People who use monocalcium phosphate do have to handle with care when dealing with the chemical compound; the specific directions include storing monocalcium phosphate at a dry place where dust cannot form. Often, the minimum shelf life of monocalcium phosphate is about three years.

Monocalcium phosphate is artifically made; it is created from a mixture of a calcium source and some form of a phosphoric acid. Its appearance is that of a white crystalline powder. Simple products that include monocalcium phosphate are (besides Ho Ho's) self-raising flour, baking powder, cake/pastry mixes, cake/pastry products, etc. Other known names for monocalicum phosphate include calcium phosphate, monobasic, monohydrate, and calcium tetrahydrogen diorthophosphate.
