<\/p>\n\n\n

Applications Phosphoric acid is a colorless, odorless crystalline liquid. It gives soft drinks a tangy flavor and prevents the growth of mold and bacteria, which can multiply easily in a sugary solution. Most of soda\u2019s acidity also comes from phosphoric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uses of Phosphoric Acid in Food Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>
Phosphoric acid<\/a> can serve for many uses in our daily life. Phosphoric acid also plays an important role in several food industry. It is widely used in the industry due to its cheap prices. A food-grade phosphoric acid is often referred as additive E338.It is relatively easy to determine whether food products contain phosphoric acid. It can be seen on its ingredients list. Several phosphoric acid names that are usually listed as an ingredient are E338, Orthophosphoric acid, Phosphoric (V) acid, Pyrophosphoric acid, Triphosphoric acid, 0-Phosphoric acid, and Hydrogen phosphate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uses of phosphoric acid in the food industry can be seen as listed below

Jams<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Food-grade phosphoric acid is also used as an additive for jams.\u00a0It provides a tangy and sour taste.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Dairy products<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Phosphoric acid is used in the production of dairy products.\u00a0The salts of phosphoric acid are used to modify the protein and alter the pH level of a product to improve the product\u2019s quality. Examples of dairy products than contain phosphoric acid are milk, buttermilk, and cottage cheese.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Food additives <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Phosphoric acid is known to be used as a food additive. Some phosphoric acid-based food additives are dicalcium phosphate, hexametaphosphate, sodium phosphate, and tricalcium phosphate.
Phosphoric acid is a major ingredient in most carbonated soft drinks, particularly those that are of a darker color. It helps keep a check on fungi and bacteria formation. It serves as an acidic, fruitlike flavouring in food Phosphoric acid used in food and beverage. Phosphoric acid is used as an additive to acidify foods and beverages, like the various colas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phosphoric acid in soda pop<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

phosphoric acid in soda pop
\nPhosphoric acid is deliberately added to soft drinks to give them a sharper\nflavor. It also slows the growth of molds and bacteria, which would otherwise\nmultiply rapidly in the sugary solution.Almost all of the acidity of soda pop\ncomes from the phosphoric acid and not from the carbonic acid from the\ndissolved CO2. You can verify this by measuring the pH of fresh and flat soda\npop.The phosphoric acid is corrosive, but actually the acid concentration in\nsoda pop is lower than that in orange juice or lemonade.Coca-Cola European\nPartners use a very small amount of phosphoric acid in some of the\nCoca-Cola system\u2019s soft drinks, such as Coca\u2011Cola Classic, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola\nZero Sugar and Dr Pepper. It gives them their tartness.It is a safe\ningredient approved by national health authorities in all the countries\nwhere Coca\u2011Cola is sold.Despite their lack of sugar, diet sodas are\nalso bad for your oral health, though their pH values tend to be a bit higher\nthan regular sodas. Moreover, non-cola\nbeverages are less acidic than cola drinks, but were found to\nbe more erosive overall due to a higher mean percent weight loss\nafter a 48 hours of immersion. For example, a drink called \u2018Surge\u2019 had the\nhighest overall weight loss at 7.85%, followed by 7-Up at 6.17%. This is\nthought to be because non-cola drinks contain citric acid  which\nchelates calcium at higher pH levels, leading it to be particularly erosive.\nCola drinks, on the other hand, usually contain phosphoric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruit juices<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fruit juices and drinks are also tart, but they don’t use\nphosphoric acid as a flavor additive. Phosphoric acid would cause many ions\npresent in fruit juices to settle out as insoluble phosphates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removal of rust<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


One of the common uses of phosphoric acid is that it is used as a rust remover. Phosphoric acid has the ability to remove rust from metal surfaces (such as iron and steel). It converts reddish-brown iron (ferric oxide) to a black-colored ferric phosphate. The black ferric phosphate can be easily scrubbed revealing the fresh metal surface. Multiple application of phosphoric acid may be needed for a complete rust removal. Phosphoric acid-based rust remover is usually found as green liquid but can also be found formulated as gel.Safe on metal surfaces including stainless steel and will not cause “flash rusting” when used for etching concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



applications of phosphoric acid in Pharmaceutical<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


Phosphoric acid is widely used as an acidifying agent in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations. It is used in pharmaceutical products as part of a buffer system when combined with a phosphate salt such as sodium phosphate, monobasic or dibasic.
Therapeutically, dilute phosphoric acid has been used welldiluted in preparations used in the treatment of nausea and vomiting.One of the main areas that phosphoric acid is used is in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications of phosphotic acid in Fertilizers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


Phosphoric acid (H3PO4), also known as orthophosphoric acid, is the most significant source of phosphate fertilizers. Phosphoric acid based fertilizers mainly include ammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate.
Most elemental phosphorus is converted into phosphoric acid for non-fertilizer use. There are two basic processes for the production of phosphoric acid.Metaphosphoric acid is obtained by heating phosphoric acid. The product is highly deliquescent and glassy in appearance. Its salts are known as metaphosphates. Orthophosphoric acid is the most common and is used as an important phosphate ingredient in commercial fertilizers.Fertilizer is the main use of phosphoric acid. Over 90% of produced phosphoric acid is used to make fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

applications of phosphoric acid in Plants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


All plants need the right balance of minerals and nutrients in order to thrive. Phosphate is one of those, and it is generally included in all fertilizers, whether organic in origin, or synthetic. Generally, this is done in the form of phosphoric acid, which is a derivative of phosphate.
Phosphoric acid cannot be taken up directly by plants \u2013 it must be changed first. After being applied to the soil, the acid is converted into hydrogen phosphate by chemical actions and biological agents. It is also transformed into dihydrogen phosphate, which is also usable by plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


applications of phosphoric acid in Dentistry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>Etching the surface of the tooth, also called conditioning, is accomplished by using 38% phosphoric acid. The acid use in etching the tooth has the additional benefit of killing the bacteria in the pit and fissures. This acid is available in liquid and gel. If a gel is used, it is important to use a gel product that is specifically designed for pit and fissure sealants. Other gels may be too viscous and will not flow properly into the pits and fissures. It is uses as an etching solution and is usually used to clean the teeth. Other uses of phosphoric acid include teeth whiteners or mouth washing liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications of phosphoric acid in Cosmetics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


In cosmetics and personal care products, Phosphoric Acid is used in the formulation of a wide variety of product types, including bath products, cleansing products, fragrances, hair care products, hair dyes and colors, makeup, mouthwashes, nail products and skin care products.Cosmetic products containing Phosphoric Acid and simple salts may be applied to the skin and hair or, incidentally, may come in contact with the eyes (e.g., Dicalcium Phosphateat maximum use concentrations up to 10% in eye area cosmetics) and mucous membranes (e.g., Pentasodium Triphosphate at maximum use concentrations up to 9% in bath preparations). Additionally, some of these ingredients are being used in products that may result in incidental ingestion. For example, Dicalcium Phosphatedehydrate is being used in dentifrices at maximum use concentrations up to 48%, and Dicalcium Phosphateis being used in lipstick at maximum use concentrations up to 10%. Products containing these ingredients may be applied as frequently as several times per day and may come in contact with the skin or hair for variable periods following application. Daily or occasional use may extend over many years.
Phosphoric acid is used in hair sprays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications of phosphoric acid in Agriculture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


Phophorous acid is used in agriculture industry. (1998) found that phosphite is capable of controlling Phytophthora root and crown rot on tomato and pepper. The authors also tested the ability of phosphorous acid to act as a nutrient source for plant growth and found that P-deficiency symptoms developed when plants were grown hydroponically with phosphorous acid as the sole source of P (without phosphate). This means that although phosphorous acid can control oomycetes in a number of host-parasite systems, it is not a substitute for phosphate fertilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other uses of phosphoric acid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buffer agents:<\/strong>\nPhosphoric acid is also used as a buffer agent in Biology and Chemistry.
