Di-calcium phosphate

Di-calcium phosphate

Dicalcium Phosphate is a calcium phosphate salt of phosphoric acid with the formula: CaHPO4. It is a common additive/ ingredient of products primarily involved in the agriculture (feed ingredient), food, personal care, and medicinal (pharmaceutical additive) industries.
Products that may contain dicalcium phosphate include: tooth paste, pills and tablets, vitamins, chicken feed, and various cosmetic skin products.

 

Agriculture, Food & Medicinal Applications

Dicalcium phosphate provides animals with the necessary calcium and phosphorous required in their diets. For similar reasons, it is also added to certain cereals, pet edibles, and can even be bought as a dietary supplement.

Personal Care & Cosmetics

Dicalcium phosphate is useful in the personal care department for its opacity, bulking capabilities, and its ability to affect the overall pH of the product. It can be found used in tooth pastes, deodorants, cosmetic foundations, eye makeup, blushes, and other such types of skin care products.

Dibasic calcium phosphate is mainly used as a dietary supplement in prepared breakfast cereals, dog treats, enriched flour, and noodle products. It is also used as a tableting agent in some pharmaceutical preparations, including some products meant to eliminate body odor. Dibasic calcium phosphate is also found in some dietary calcium supplements. It is used in poultry feed. It is also used in some toothpastes as a tartar control agent.

Dicalcium Phosphate is used as a raw material source of phosphorus in the production of feeds and animal nutrition correctors. With this mineral-sourced phosphate in their rations, the needs of high producing animals are covered, improving performance in growth, fertility and conversion indexes. Phosphorus is essential to, among other processes, ATP formation, nucleic acid synthesis and bone formation.

By creating a strong chemical bond, bioactive glasses (bioglass) show a suitable biological response in the common season of bone and tissue, and therefore have wide applications in medicine. However, due to the not so favorable mechanical properties of these glasses, their use in applications under load faces problems, while metal alloys are still the best option for use in places that bear mechanical load.

Tricalcium phosphate, known as TCP, is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid with the chemical formula Ca3(PO4)2. Tricalcium phosphate is a white solid with low solubility, and most commercial samples are actually very similar to hydroxyapatite. Calcium is an essential mineral that is necessary for many body functions and especially the development of bones. We all need to get a certain amount of this mineral through our diet every day to maintain good health.

Simulated body solution (SBF) is a solution with an ion concentration relatively similar to blood plasma, which is prepared under physiological body temperature and pH conditions. This solution was first used by Kokobo and his colleagues to investigate the changes on the surfaces of bioactive glass ceramics. This test is one of the common tests for investigating the bioactivity or biodegradability of biomaterials, and due to the ease of work and the lack of equipment and facilities, it has a wide range and high application, and at the same time, it provides decisive results for researches. has it.

Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological research. It is a water-based saline solution that contains sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, and in some formulations, potassium chloride and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The buffer helps to stabilize the pH. The concentration of osmolarity and ion concentration of this solution corresponds to the environment of the human body.

Chitosan is composed of repeating units of chitin, represented by the chemical formula C6H11NO4. Chitin is a natural mucopolysaccharide that is abundantly found in the exoskeleton of arthropods such as shrimp and crab and the cuticle of insects. Chitosan is obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, so that by adding concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and heat, the acetylamine groups in chitin are converted to amine agents.
