Description
Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate Granular is a calcium hydrogen phosphate containing two molecules of crystal water, supplied as white, monoclinic crystalline granules. The dihydrate form is the classic mineral fortification grade for food: it is slightly soluble in water, dissolves readily in dilute acids, and delivers calcium and phosphorus in a well-absorbed balance that mirrors bone mineral composition. The granular form flows freely and handles cleanly in automated feeding and mixing equipment, making it practical for both high-volume food fortification and direct-compression supplement tableting. Its crystal water gives the product a naturally stable character in normal storage, with a two-year shelf life. Manufactured under USP-grade specifications, it is a widely accepted source of calcium and phosphorus for foods, supplements and pharmaceutical applications worldwide. It is packed in polyethylene inner bags with compound paper-plastic woven outer bags, net 25 kg, with a two-year shelf life in a dry, ventilated warehouse. Its crystal water content also gives it a naturally stable character in normal storage. In practice the granules meter cleanly in bakery fortification and premix lines, and they disperse without dust during mixing. Their gentle solubility suits both direct compression and food enrichment systems. The product is manufactured under strict hygiene controls with documented test results for purity, heavy metals and microbial safety, ready for audit when customers require. How DCP Dihydrate Granular works: the dihydrate form of calcium hydrogen phosphate carries two molecules of crystal water, which gives it a slightly soluble, acid-soluble profile that dissolves readily in the stomach after ingestion. Its calcium-to-phosphorus ratio mirrors bone mineral, making it the traditional choice for calcium-phosphorus supplementation and food fortification. The granular grade flows freely through hoppers and feeders, handling cleanly in both tableting and large-scale food production. Practical guidance: in direct-compression supplements it provides bulk and flow with mineral value; in bakery it acts as a yeast food and dough improver while fortifying bread with calcium and phosphorus; in cereals and grain products it enriches without changing taste; in gelled systems it serves as a gelling aid for carrageenan and alginates; and in powdered beverages it disperses through dry mixes. Quality assurance: USP-grade production with assay, loss on ignition, heavy-metal and microbiological testing per batch, with test reports supplied to buyers. Packed 25 kg per bag in polyethylene inner plus woven outer layers, the product keeps for two years in dry, ventilated storage - a versatile mineral ingredient that has been the industry standard for decades. Specification highlights: it is packed in 25kg/bag with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Compliance and quality at a glance: the product is manufactured under the standards referenced in its specification sheet, and every batch is tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology before release. Batch records, test reports and certificates are kept and supplied for buyer qualification, audit and regulatory filing, and the product is stored and shipped in its original packaging to preserve quality through the supply chain. For industrial buyers, this documented quality system means one qualification covers years of consistent supply, with the specification sheet serving as the contractual reference for every delivery.
Applications
It is primarily used in food fortification as a mineral enrichment and quality improver for bread, confectionery, cereal and grain products. It serves as a yeast food ingredient in baking and as a gelling agent for carrageenan and alginate systems. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it in calcium-phosphorus tablets via direct compression, and it appears in bone-health supplement blends.
Advantages
The dihydrate granular grade combines the mineral balance of bone with excellent free-flowing handling, so food producers can fortify at scale without dust or bridging problems. Its recognized use as both a mineral source and a functional food ingredient, such as a yeast food and gelling aid, gives it unusual versatility in bakery and dairy systems. USP-grade quality, two-year shelf life and stable supply make it a dependable mainstay for fortification programs.
