Phosphoric Acid Food Grade is a highly concentrated, colorless, odorless liquid acid used extensively in the food and beverage industry. It acts as an acidulant, flavoring agent, and preservative, approved for direct use in food processing. This grade meets strict purity standards suitable for consumption and is widely employed to control pH, add tanginess, and extend shelf life. It is also used in other industries requiring high-purity phosphoric acid.
