The sodium salts of various phosphates have long been known to increase WHC and muscle tissue swelling, and decrease both drip and cook losses. 
The effects of phosphates on meat swelling appear to be related to their relative effects on pH with the exception of tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TP), which produces a swelling effect in excess of its ability to raise pH. 
Commercial phosphates with a pH of 9.0–10.0 can raise tissue pH above the pI by increasing the net negative charge on the myofibrillar proteins causing them to repel each other allowing water to enter. 
However, it must be noted that the buffering capacity of meat proteins is substantial; so much so that, in relevant quantities, phosphate with pH 10 shifts the meat pH by only 0.1–0.2 pH units, which would be expected to have negligible effects on WHC unless the tissue was at or very close to the muscle protein pI.

Low-molecular weight inorganic phosphates can react directly with actomyosin. 
This effect is related to breakdown of low-molecular weight phosphates to pyrophosphate (PP) and diphosphate by muscle ATPase, which has a specific swelling effect on lean meat in addition to its pH effect and its ability to split actomyosin. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate has been suggested that phosphates are effective in increasing WHC to the extent that they are hydrolyzed to pyrophophate by endogenous enzymes (ATPase). 
PP-induced dissociation of the actomyosin complex is dependent on both pH and ionic strength. 
The affinity of actomyosin for tripolyphosphate (TPP) increases in the presence of high NaCl concentrations and calcium and magnesium. 
The mode of action is that the sodium from NaCl at high ionic strength forms an Na–myosinate complex that strengthens the affinity of actomyosin for PP and TPP.
PP may then form a divalent metal-polyphosphate complex that also increases actomyosin for polyphosphates. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate may be that calcium remains attached to one filament, the PP then complexes with it to prevent calcium from binding to an adjacent filament. 
In general, the reaction is comprised of the formation of a divalent metal-phosphate complex that acts as a normal salt with salt-free actomyosin in a way similar to organic polyphophates such as ATP.

In the presence of little or no salt, the highly polymerized inorganic phosphates, such as hexametaphosphate, bind directly to the positively charged groups on the actomyosin complex. 
Univalent cations compete with the phosphate for the binding site on the actomyosin molecule leaving the phosphate to behave like a normal salt increasing the ionic strength. 
The increase in hydration of actomyosin may occur because polyphosphates are capable of eliminating the alkaline earth metals bound to structural proteins. 
A significant negative correlation exists between WHC and calcium and magnesium content in beef muscle tissue. 
Based on enzyme studies, it appears that polyphosphate, rather than chelating calcium and magnesium, forms a divalent-metal polyphosphate complex and acts as a normal salt on actomyosin. 
Therefore, the presence of bound calcium facilitates the approach of polyphosphates to the protein (such that polyphosphate can be split to PP). 
Cleavage of the actomyosin bond allows the protein fragments to spread and water to enter.

The actions of NaCl and phosphate on actomyosin can be summarized as follows:

NaCl is a neutral salt. 
The first effect on muscle cells is osmotic. 
As membrane integrity is destroyed, semipermeability is lost and the salts migrate into the fibers.
When NaCl is used in meat, which is on the basic side (pH 5.3–5.7) of the isoelectric point of actomyosin (pI=5.0), the binding of the Cl- anions to positively charged protein side groups screens the positive charge and breaks salt bridges allowing the protein strands to spread resulting in greater hydration. 
Binding of the anions shifts the pI to a lower pH. 
In the absence of a plasticizer such as ATP or polyphosphate, actomyosin can only be split at pH values <1.0 or >7.0. Phosphates, which are salts of weak acids, also dissociate to anions and cations. 
At pH values above the pI of the proteins, the anions eliminate the alkaline earth metals bound to structural proteins increasing WHC as actin and myosin are released from each other. 
Calcium is removed by ion exchange and the intramolecular bonds break. Salts with polyvalent anions are most effective (polyphosphates, citrate, and oxalate). 
Elimination of calcium inactivates ATP hydrolysis and results in hydration of actomyosin. 
Exchange of bound calcium is most effective at pH values above the pI because the cations crosslink carboxyl groups of the protein.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, when it constitutes 10 – 15% of the soap mixture, saves soap to the extent of 20 – 30% by completely preventing the magnesium ion from precipitating soap. 
At higher levels a partial elimination of the calcium ion will also result.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate reduces the insoluble soap content of the wash water by 20 – 30% because it reduces the magnesium and calcium ion content of the solution by this amount.


Because of these facts, more soap is made available for washing and dispersing the solids, less insolubles are present to complicate dirt removal, resulting in better washing solutions at no additional cost.
