Appearance
White odorless powder
Function
It is used in canned seafood to maintain color and reduce purge during retorting. Retorting achieves microbial stability with heat. In cured meats, it speeds the conversion of sodium nitrite to nitrite (NO2-) by forming the nitrous acid (HONO) intermediate, and can improve water-holding capacity. Disodium pyrophosphate is also found in frozen hash browns and other potato products, where it is used to keep the color of the potatoes from darkening.
