The solubility specified here was measured in water. The solubility is influenced by many factors in the application.
Tricalcium Phosphate is a white, odorless, powder with low solubility in water and high physicochemical stability. Due to its defined particle characteristics and controlled reactivity, it offers reliable processing performance in various industrial applications.
Its multifunctional profile allows its use both as a nutritional Calcium source and as a technical additive in food and pharmaceutical formulations.
Choosing Tricalcium Phosphate from Dr. Paul Lohmann® provides formulation and procurement teams with key advantages:
Tricalcium Phosphate offers a concentrated and stable Calcium source suitable for nutritional fortification.
The compound demonstrates high thermal and chemical stability, ensuring long shelf life and reliable product performance.
Its minimal impact on taste, odor, and color makes it ideal for sensitive food and pharmaceutical applications.
Due to its defined particle size and surface characteristics, it improves powder flowability and prevents agglomeration in dry formulations.
Available in tailored particle sizes, bulk densities, and grades to meet specific formulation and regulatory requirements.
Dr. Paul Lohmann® ensures full regulatory compliance and traceability. Tricalcium Phosphate is produced in accordance with:
Tricalcium Phosphate is widely used in dietary supplements as a stable and cost-efficient Calcium source. It is particularly suitable for tablets, capsules, sachets, and powder blends. Its good compressibility and flow characteristics support efficient tablet production and uniform dosage. In mineral blends, it contributes to formulation stability and consistent Calcium content.
In pharmaceutical formulations, Tricalcium Phosphate is used as a functional excipient. It can serve as a filler, carrier, or flow-regulating agent in solid oral dosage forms. Its defined purity and stability ensure compliance with stringent pharmaceutical quality requirements and support consistent batch performance.
Tricalcium Phosphate is commonly used in fortified foods and beverages, including cereals, dairy products, and powdered drink mixes. As a Calcium fortifier, it provides reliable mineral enrichment without significantly affecting sensory properties. Its stability under various processing conditions makes it suitable for demanding production environments.
Tricalcium Phosphate is permitted under E-number 341, with its primary functions as anti-caking agent and acidity regulator. It prevents lump formation in powdered products and improves flow characteristics during processing and packaging. Additionally, it can contribute to acidity regulation, depending on the formulation.
