Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, also known as potassium pyrophosphate, is an inorganic compound with the formula K4P2O7. It is a white, odorless solid that is soluble in water. The compound is produced by heating potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) to 400 °C. It is often used as a food additive, acting as a sequestrant, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It can bind metal ions, preventing them from reacting with other food components. This helps to preserve the color, texture, and flavor of food products. Tetrapotassium pyrophosphate is also used in a variety of industrial applications, including as a component in fertilizers, detergents, and cleaning agents. It has been shown to inhibit the formation of calcium phosphate crystals, which is why it is used as an anti-scaling agent in boilers and other industrial equipment. Research on tetrapotassium pyrophosphate is focused on understanding its interactions with other food components and exploring its potential applications in other fields. The compound is generally considered to be safe for human consumption when used at recommended levels.'
