Monocalcium phosphate is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used as a leavening agent in baked goods. It is produced by combining calcium carbonate with phosphoric acid and is often added to doughs and batters to make them rise during the baking process. Monocalcium phosphate is also used as a mineral supplement in animal feed and as a food additive to enhance the texture and flavor of processed foods. It is considered safe for human consumption and has been approved by numerous regulatory agencies worldwide.
