Features:

1. pH Regulation: Potassium phosphate dibasic is an effective pH regulator. It can be used to adjust and control the acidity or alkalinity of food products.
2. Emulsification: It has emulsifying properties, allowing it to help stabilize emulsions and prevent the separation of oil and water phases in products like sauces, dressings, and beverages.
3. Texture Improvement: Potassium phosphate dibasic can enhance the texture and mouthfeel of various food products, giving them a smoother and creamier consistency.
4. Mineral Supplement: As a source of potassium, it can provide a nutrient boost to food products, contributing to the nutritional content.

Uses:
Electrolyte Replenisher: It can be used as an electrolyte replenisher, particularly in medical contexts where potassium and phosphate levels need to be balanced.
Radio-protective Activity: It has shown radio-protective activity, blocking the uptake of the radioactive isotope phosphorus P 32 when administered orally.
Biological Buffer: It acts as a biological buffer, helping to maintain a stable pH in the range of 8.5–9.6.
