So, what is polifosfati?
Polifosfati, also known as polyphosphates, are a group of food additives used as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and texturizers. They are typically derived from phosphoric acid and are commonly found in processed meats, seafood, and dairy products. Polifosfati are valued for their ability to improve moisture retention, enhance product texture, and prolong shelf life. However, their use has been controversial due to potential health risks, including digestive issues and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Despite this, polifosfati remain a popular ingredient in the food industry due to their cost-effectiveness and versatility.
