Sodium Aluminium Phosphate Feed Grade Supplier South Africa

What is Sodium Aluminium Phosphate?

Sodium Aluminium Phosphate (SALP) is a slow-acting leavening acid used in baking applications to provide controlled carbon dioxide release during heat, producing light and uniform texture in baked products. In pet food manufacturing, it is used in baked dry kibble, pet biscuits, and snack treats where leavening is needed to achieve the desired texture and bulk density. It provides both sodium and phosphate mineral content alongside its leavening function.

Role in Animal Nutrition

In baked pet food and pet treat manufacturing, the texture and structure of the product significantly influence palatability and consumer acceptance. Sodium aluminium phosphate enables controlled and uniform leavening during baking, producing consistent product texture without the rapid gas release and crust collapse that can occur with fast-acting leavening agents. Phosphate contributed by SALP also has nutritional value as a phosphorus source. SALP is approved for food use across major regulatory markets and its use in pet food manufacturing reflects its excellent functional properties and safety profile.
