Disodium phosphate dodecahydrate (DSP) is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula Na2HPO4·12H2O. It is commonly used as a food additive, buffering agent, and emulsifying agent. DSP is also used in the production of fertilizers, detergents, and water treatment chemicals. In the food industry, it is used to adjust the pH of processed foods and to prevent the coagulation of milk proteins in cheese making. DSP is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices.

Disodium hydrogen phosphate, also known as sodium phosphate dibasic, is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula Na2HPO4. It is a water-soluble salt and is commonly used in the food industry as a buffering agent, emulsifier, and thickening agent. It is also used in the production of fertilizers, detergents, and water treatment chemicals. Disodium hydrogen phosphate is considered safe for consumption by the FDA and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. However, excessive consumption can lead to health issues, such as kidney damage and high blood pressure.
