Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a food additive. It is often used as a preservative, a texture enhancer, and a sequestrant, which helps to bind and remove metal ions from food products. STPP is commonly used in seafood products, such as shrimp and scallops, to improve their texture and prevent spoilage. It is also used in meats, poultry, and processed foods to improve their moisture retention and extend their shelf life.
