PROCESS FOR PREPARING HEMIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE

摘要

In a process for preparing hemipotassium phosphate useful as an acidulant for beverages, an equimolar mixture of monopotassium phosphate and phosphoric acid is heated to a temperature above 100 ~C then cooled with vigorous agitation whereby the liquid loses its free water and crystallizes to a relatively dry crystalline mass. The hemipotassium phosphate provides a dry, flowable, crystalline product which can be transported and handled easily.
