What is dicalcium phosphate (DCP)?
Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium salt of phosphoric acid, in white powder form with the chemical formula CaHPO4.
Other names: Dicalcium phosphate, Dicalcium phosphate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, etc.
It usually exists in the following two forms:
- Anhydrous form: CaHPO4.
- Dicalcium phosphate-dihydrate: CaHPO4.2H2O.
In life, it is often used as an additive in food, fertilizer production, and animal feed.
Outstanding physicochemical properties of Dicalcium phosphate
Exists in the form of white or slightly yellowish white powder, odorless. The anhydrous form has a molecular mass of 136 g/mol while the dihydrate form has a molar mass of 172.19 g/mol.
content is a minimum of 18% and calcium is 23% min.
Solubility:
- Easily soluble in hydrochloric acid HCl, nitric acid HNO3, and other acids.
- Slightly soluble in water.
Method for synthesizing Dicalcium phosphate
DCP CaHPO4 is formed from the reaction between phosphoric acid and calcium hydroxide. Or it can be prepared by performing a reaction between ammonium hydrophosphate and calcium chloride.

APPLICATION OF DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE – DCP
Dicalcium phosphate DCP in animal feed
One of the most important and popular uses of Dicalcium phosphate is as a raw material for the production of animal feed and seafood feed. Adding this chemical to animal feed will help improve survival rates, enhance disease resistance, and diarrhea, and increase egg and meat production.
Application in the food technology industry
In food, it is known as an additive with the symbol E341, used as a leavening agent, buffering agent, emulsifier, or food stabilizer.
It is found in leavening flour, cakes, and pies and provides minerals in cereals and other foods.
Besides, DCP is also found in dietary foods and used in noodle production.
