Sodium monofluorophosphate has two major applications in food industry.
Food additives:
It is known from long-term clinical experiments that sodium monofluorophosphate is a good source of fluorine.
Sodium monofluorophosphate can be used as a food additive to increase food nutrition, but it is unsafe if it exceeds the standard.
Sodium monofluorophosphate is added to food to provide 0.25-5mg of fluorine per day, which is equivalent to an intake of 2.5-16mg of sodium monofluorophosphate.
According to the data, it is unsafe to consume sodium fluoride-containing salts (1.7 to 14 mg) and phosphates (1.1 to 8.8 mg) per day.
In Europe, the levels of additives in food are generally below the maximum limits.
For adults, a daily consumption of 2mg of fluoridated food would not exceed the limit.
Therefore, we should pay attention to the sodium monofluorophosphate safe dosage while focusing on its ability to enhance the nutritional value of food.
Raw material for chewing gum:
Chewing gum has always been favored by the public. The current chewing gum does not have the health care functions such as anti-caries, desensitization, anti-bacteria and anti-flu.
Although the general drug toothpaste has one or more effects, but can not replace the chewing function and taste of the chewing gum.
In 1998, Mr.Li Guohua developed a chewing gum with multi-functionality, this chewing gum with 0.5% sodium monofluorophosphate, so it has a good effect of caries prevention.
Conclusion
In the food industry, sodium monofluorophosphate is used as food additive and raw material of chewing gum. The purpose of using it in food is to add F– to human body as nutritional supplements. We shall note that in most cases, what is sodium monofluorophosphate made from decides the application of this chemical. Usually, sodium monofluorophosphate of toothpaste grade is to use for food industry. The raw materials making it need to comply with the food grade standard as well.
The toothpaste grade sodium monofluorophosphate supplied by Whwanze is the perfect material for food industry. Besides the food industry, this grade is also widely used for toothpaste, pharmaceutical, and laboratory.
