Phosphoric acid made from elementary phosphorus is used in food applications such as soda beverages. The acid is also a starting point to make food grade phosphates. These include mono-calcium phosphate which is employed in baking powder and sodium tripolyphosphate and other sodium phosphates. Among other uses, these are used to improve the characteristics of processed meat and cheese. Others are used in toothpaste.
