Monocalcium phosphate (E341i)
No. Monocalcium phosphate (E341i) is not one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as processed or ultra-processed, so on its own it doesn't raise a product's NOVA group.
What it is
Emulsifiers are substances which make it possible to form or maintain a homogenous mixture of two or more immiscible phases such as oil and water in a foodstuff.
A product that contains it can still be ultra-processed for other reasons: 392 of the 429 products here that contain monocalcium phosphate (E341i) (91%) are in group 4 because of other ingredients or additives.
Function
- Emulsifier
- Emulsifiers are substances which make it possible to form or maintain a homogenous mixture of two or more immiscible phases such as oil and water in a foodstuff.
- Humectant
- Humectants are substances which prevent foods from drying out by counteracting the effect of an atmosphere having a low degree of humidity, or promote the dissolution of a powder in an aqueous medium.
- Sequestrant
- Sequestrants are substances which form chemical complexes with metallic ions.
- Stabiliser
- Stabilisers are substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of a foodstuff; stabilisers include substances which enable the maintenance of a homogenous dispersion of two or more immiscible substances in a foodstuff, substances which stabilise, retain or intensify an existing colour of a foodstuff and substances which increase the binding capacity of the food, including the formation of cross-links between proteins enabling the binding of food pieces into re-constituted food.
- Thickener
- Thickeners are substances which increase the viscosity of a foodstuff.
