Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, also called sodium pyrophosphate, tetrasodium phosphate or TSPP, is an inorganic compound with the formula Na4P2O7. 
As a salt, Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is a white, water-soluble solid. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is composed of pyrophosphate anion and sodium ions. 
Also known is the decahydrate Na4P2O7 · 10(H2O).
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate or TSPP is a solid white inorganic compound that is water soluble. 
TSPP is a salt composed of pyrophosphate anions and sodium ions. 
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate or TSPP is aproximately twice the toxicity level of common table salt. 
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate or TSPP is most commonly produced by the reaction of  phosphoric acid with sodium carbonate to form disodium phosphate, which is then heated to 450 °C to form tetrasodium pyrophosphate. 
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate or TSPP is primarily used as a food additive but also has a wide range of applications such as an emulsifier, thickening agent, buffering agent and dispersing agent.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used as a pH buffer (a substance which maintains a particular acidity level), and as a dough conditioner in soy-based "meat alternatives". 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate promotes binding of proteins to water, binding the soy particles together, and is used for the same purpose in chicken nuggets and imitation crab and lobster products.
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is an emulsifier, and a source of phosphorus as a nutrient.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used in toothpastes, as a buffer, an emulsifier, and a detergent aid. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is the "tartar control" agent. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate removes calcium and magnesium from the saliva, so they can't deposit on the teeth.
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is a thickening agent in instant puddings.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is a water softener in detergents, and an emulsifier to suspend oils and prevent them from redepositing on clothing in the wash. 
As a water softener, Tetrasodium pyrophosphate combines with magnesium to sequester Tetrasodium pyrophosphate from the detergent, without precipitating Tetrasodium pyrophosphate onto the clothing.
As a detergent additive, Tetrasodium pyrophosphate can also "reactivate" detergents or soaps that have combined with calcium to make an insoluble scum. 
The TSPP sequesters the calcium, replacing Tetrasodium pyrophosphate with sodium, which reactivates the detergent or soap, and yet keeps the calcium from precipitating out of solution.
Because phosphates cause "eutrophication" of water (algae grows because of the fertilizing power of phosphates), Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is seldom used as a detergent additive, except in toothpastes.
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive. 
Common foods containing tetrasodium pyrophosphate include chicken nuggets, marshmallows, pudding, crab meat, imitation crab, canned tuna, and soy-based meat alternatives and cat foods and cat treats where Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used as a palatability enhancer.

In toothpaste and dental floss, tetrasodium pyrophosphate acts as a tartar control agent, serving to remove calcium and magnesium from saliva and thus preventing them from being deposited on teeth. 
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used in commercial dental rinses before brushing to aid in plaque reduction.
Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is sometimes used in household detergents to prevent similar deposition on clothing, but due to its phosphate content Tetrasodium pyrophosphate causes eutrophication of water, promoting algae growth.

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive.

What are the uses of TSPP?
With the properties of chelating metal ions, increasing protein water holding capacity, PH buffering, stabilization, emulsification, casein thickening and ect, tetrasodium pyrophosphate is widely used in food to improve the gel strength and the tenderness of meat products/analogs. 
Also, Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is used with other phosphates (e.g. sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate) in seafood to increase the water retention. 

Food
Food grade TSPP is mainly used in following two functions:
-A buffering agent: with the PH value from 9.8 to 10.8 (1% solution), TSPP can be used as an alkaline to adjust pH in processed food, pudding and etc.
-A calcium sequestrant: TSPP can remove naturally occurring calcium ions from proteins and crosslink with proteins, which results in accelerating protein gelation, improving texture (mouthfeel) and reducing cooking loss in meat analog production (e.g. soy protein).

Following food list may contain TSPP:
-Meat analogs, such as soy or wheat based food, with the appearance, flavor and mouth-feel the same with meat but not made from meat. 
-Marshmallows
-Pudding
-Cheese
-Ice cream
-Milk protein products
-Tuna
-Toothpaste

Orally the main purpose of TSPP is to prevent the formation of calculus by reducing the deposition of calcium and magnesium on teeth.
