| Targets |
Disodium pyrophosphate does not have a specific pharmacological target as it is a food additive and industrial chemical. Its function is to act as a leavening agent in baked goods by releasing carbon dioxide when heated. As a sequestrant, it binds to metal ions, preventing them from participating in unwanted reactions. As a buffer, it helps maintain pH stability in food products. The compound also has applications in electroplating and metal cleaning.
