FAQs
What is JOHA® B 50?
JOHA® B 50 is a blend of tripotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, and sodium hexametaphosphate that buffers and stabilizes proteins in UHT and retorted dairy beverages, coffee creamers, and process cheese.
Why does JOHA® B 50 contain sodium hexametaphosphate?
Sodium hexametaphosphate is a long-chain phosphate that binds calcium. By binding calcium, it prevents calcium from bridging proteins together, which helps prevent sedimentation and age gelation during shelf life.
How much JOHA® B 50 should I use?
Start at 0.02–0.25% in beverages and coffee creamers, or at 1.6–2.2% in processed cheese, spreads, and soups.
