E341 Calcium Orthophosphates

Calcium orthophosphates (Calcium phosphates, calcium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium orthophosphate, single-substituted calcium orthophosphate, double-substituted calcium orthophosphate, tri-substituted calcium orthophosphate, calcium tripolyphosphate, calcium phosphate, E341) are calcium salts of orthophosphoric acid.

Types of calcium orthophosphates (calcium phosphates):

  • (i) Single-substituted calcium orthophosphate (monocalcium phosphate, Ca[H2PO4]2);
  • (ii) Calcium orthophosphate, disubstituted (dicalcium phosphate, CaHPO4);
  • (iii) Tri-substituted calcium orthophosphate (tricalcium phosphate, Ca3O8P2).
