Disodium pyrophosphate or sodium acid pyrophosphate is a buffering and chelating agent, with many food and industrial uses. It is polyvalent, and acts as a Lewis base, so is effective at binding polyvalent cations.

Food uses

Sodium acid pyrophosphate is a GRAS substance for food use. It is used in canned seafood to maintain color and reduce purge[clarification needed] during retorting. Retorting achieves microbial stability with heat[1]. It is an acid source for reaction with baking soda to leaven baked goods.[2] In cured meats, it speeds the conversion of sodium nitrite to NO2 by forming the HONO intermediate, and can improve water holding capacity. Disodium pyrophosphate also is found in frozen hash browns and other potato products, where it is used to keep the color of the potatoes from darkening.[2]

Other uses

In leather treatment, it can be used to remove iron stains on hides during processing. It can stabilize hydrogen peroxide solutions against reduction; it can be used with sulfamic acid in some dairy applications for cleaning, especially to remove soapstone. When added to the scalding water, it facilitates removal of hair and scurf in hog slaughter and feathers and scurf in poultry slaughter. In petroleum production, it can be used as a dispersant in oil well drilling muds.
