Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is an inorganic polyphosphate compound widely used as a sequestrant in food & beverage applications. It acts by chelating alkaline earth and heavy metal cations, preventing precipitation or crystallization. SHMP binds with calcium, magnesium, and iron ions found in food & beverages and holds them in solution, thus inhibiting their action. It promotes hydration and water retention in processed foods. Additionally, it reduces inorganic deposits on food processing equipment by chelating divalent ions. Due to these functional properties, sodium hexametaphosphate finds extensive use in the food & beverage industry as an anti-scaling agent, emulsifier, texture modifier, and preservative.
Market Dynamics:
An increase in demand for convenience and packaged food products across the globe is primarily driving the sodium hexametaphosphate market. The rising adoption of Western dietary patterns and changing consumer lifestyles have promoted packaged food consumption in many developing regions. SHMP helps extend the shelf life of processed foods by preventing oxidation and rancidity. It also aids in maintaining food quality, texture, and appearance for a long time. Additionally, SHMP helps reduce cleaning and maintenance costs for food processors by inhibiting scale formation on equipment surfaces. However, strict regulations pertaining to phosphates as food additives can hinder the market growth. Moreover, the availability of substitute sequestrant compounds also poses a challenge. Manufacturers shifting towards clean label ingredients and alternative natural sources can provide new opportunities in the coming years.
