Sodium tripolyphosphate is used as a polyanion crosslinker in polysaccharide based drug delivery.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is used in a variety of cleaning products.
Sodium tripolyphosphate improves the ability of various ingredients in the detergent to penetrate the fibers of clothes (as well as other surfaces and materials to be cleaned) more deeply, and aids in foaming and bubbling. Therefore, most chemical plants that make sodium tripolyphosphate list "detergents" as the primary area of use for this chemical.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is listed as a tanning agent for leather.
Interestingly, the chemical is also used as an oil contamination resistance agent in paper production.
So, it can both help manufacturers apply the right color to a medium as well as keep unwanted color away.
Used in a wide variety of processed food products including dairy and meat processing.
With the capability of maintaining water, the primary uses of food grade sodium tripolyphosphate are to improve the eating quality in food processing, especially in meat and fish products.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is also applied in pet food (e.g. cat and dog food) for the purpose of binding water and keeping the animal feed fresh.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is recognised as a safe ingredient for food and beverages and therefore is commonly found in food production as E number E451.
The E451 chemical is a preservative for human foods such as seafood, meats, poultry, as well as commonly being found in animal feeds.
Used within the textile industry as a leather tanning agent and on other materials for flame retardants.
As Sodium tripolyphosphate has a low toxicity level and is non-flammable it makes it a great option for the textile industry.
Holds various applications in detergents, the majority of STPP is consumed as a component of commercial detergents.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is commonly used as a water softener which makes it prime for use in the detergents and cleaning industry.
One big advantage of Sodium Trioluphosphate is that it has little to no impact on the environment and has a extremely low toxicity level.

With the functions of chelating metal ions, suspending, dispersing, emulsifying, pH buffering, and etc, technical grade STPP is widely used in the production of laundry detergents & dishwashing detergents, industrial water softener, industrial cleaner, a grease remover, leather pre-tanning agent, dyeing auxiliary agent and so on.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is a common ingredient added to fish (e.g. salmon) before frozen and its primary purpose is to reduce the amount of thaw water (or maintain water) and make seafood look firmer and smoother.
Sodium tripolyphosphate may also find it in other frozen seafood, such as scallops, shrimp, and lobster.
The taste, odor, texture, and juiciness are important properties of seafood but most seafood is easily damaged caused by ice crystals and the protein denaturation during the freezing storage.
Sodium tripolyphosphateis the protein in fish meat that determines the water retention performance.
Polyphosphate is a widely used water-retaining agent for seafood to prevent protein denaturation during freezing.
In the production of frozen fish fillets, the fish fillets are soaked in a solution of sodium tripolyphosphate with a certain concentration before freezing.
The level of water retention performance is closely related to the quality of fish products such as texture, tenderness, sliceability, elasticity, and taste.
If without sodium tripolyphosphate, when thawed, most seafood is prone to lose weight (water) and generate a darker appearance and as well make the body fragile.

Being a highly charged chelating agent, TPP5− binds to dications tightly and prevents them from interfering with the sulfonate detergent.
-FOOD:
Sodium tripolyphosphate is a preservative for seafood, meats, poultry, and animal feeds.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is common in food production as E number E451.
In foods, STPP is used as an emulsifier and to retain moisture.
Many governments regulate the quantities allowed in foods, as it can substantially increase the sale weight of seafood in particular.
The United States Food and Drug Administration lists STPP.
Sodium tripolyphosphate also gives a fresh appearance to meat and seafood while slowing down spoilage.
The chemical helps to preserve the natural color of meat and fish and improves their texture.
This is done by improving the water-holding capacity of animal products and consequently slowing down their drying

Sodium tripolyphosphate binds strongly to metal cations as both a bidentate and tridentate chelating agent.
MANUFACTURE:
Sodium tripolyphosphate is a sodium salt of triphosphoric acid.
Sodium tripolyphosphate is manufactured in chemical laboratories by mixing disodium phosphate and monosodium phosphate.
SAFETY:
Sodium tripolyphosphate is a multiple purpose ingredient that is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in food in accordance with good manufacturing practice by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Also, the safety of STPP has been approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and it is an authorized food additive in the European Union (EU) and can be used as a carrier in the preparations of the colour anthocyanins, also applied in the salted fish of the Gadidae family, as well as by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) as a sequestrant, texturizer, and thickener.
However, some consumers think
Sodium tripolyphosphate is bad for our health as it is a chemical used in detergents that cannot be eaten, and along with other possible side effects, such as allergy reactions.
