About Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP)

Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) or Calcium biphosphate is a water-soluble, white crystalline powder or granule largely used as a calcium and phosphorus supplement in animal feed, and as a leavening agent in food (bakery-grade) formulations. MCP also known as Calcium dihydrogen phosphate that improves bone development in li...
