What is sodium aluminum phosphate?

Sodium Aluminum Phosphate is an inorganic compound that contains sodium salts of aluminum phosphates (odorless, white crystalline chemical compounds). In food production, sodium aluminum phosphates are typically used as a leavening agent. Bakers and food manufacturers use the additive as an acid to create a chemical reaction that triggers baked goods such as breads to rise. The additive is commonly found in baking powders, processed cheeses, cookies, muffins, crackers, and other baked food products. It's used in Dunkin's French Cruller mix .
