So, what is fosfato di sodio?

Fosfato di sodio, also known as sodium phosphate, is a food additive commonly used in the food industry as an emulsifier, pH adjuster, and leavening agent. It is a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of food products. When added to baked goods, it can help them rise and achieve a light texture, while in dairy products, it can improve their texture and shelf life. While fosfato di sodio is generally recognized as safe by regulatory agencies, excessive consumption should be avoided due to its potential impact on kidney function.
