Understanding Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP): Composition, Uses, and Applications

What is Sodium Hexametaphosphate? Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a specially manufactured chemical compound with the chemical formula (NaPO3)6. It is a white, odorless powder that is highly soluble in water. SHMP is considered the sodium salt of hexametaphosphoric acid. When dissolved in water, it easily breaks down into smaller phosphate molecules. Uses of Sodium Hexametaphosphate SHMP finds a wide variety of uses in the food processing industry due to its versatile functional properties. Some major uses of sodium hexametaphosphate include: Processing Aid: SHMP is commonly used as a processing aid in meat processing. It helps improve yields by preventing protein denaturation in meats during cooking. By binding with meat proteins, it ensures meats retain moisture and tenderness after cooking. SHMP treated meats have a longer shelf life. Additives: It is used as an additive with the E number E452 in various foods like enriched farina, self-rising flour etc. As an additive, it acts as a leavening agent, sequestering agent and dough conditioner. The phosphates help strengthen the gluten structure in dough, thereby resulting in improved volume, texture and shelf life of bakery products. Detartarization: Dentists add SHMP solution to patients' mouth to chelate or bind with ions like calcium present in dental plaque, making it soluble in water. Sodium Hexametaphosphate allows easy removal of tartar or calculus from teeth through a non-abrasive chemical process called detartarization. Water Softeners: SHMP is frequently used in water softening applications due to its ability to sequester or bond with multivalent cations like calcium and magnesium present as hard water minerals. By removing these ions from water, it improves its quality and texture.SHMP treated water has numerous uses in industrial and household cleaning applications. Functional Properties As mentioned earlier, the unique molecular and chemical structure of SHMP enables it to demonstrate several important functional properties when used in foods and other applications: Sequestration: By forming soluble complexes or chelates with multivalent metal ions, it can effectively sequester or remove hard water minerals from solution. This softens hard water for various uses. Emulsification: Its phosphate groups interact with meat proteins forming a film around fat globules. This prevents coalescence of fat and results in stable meat emulsions with good binding. Water Holding: SHMP helps bind meat proteins thereby improving the ability of meat to retain moisture during operations like cooking, slicing etc. This retains juiciness and tenderness. Dough Strengthening: The phosphates interact with gluten proteins creating a strong, elastic gluten network. This improves dough handling properties and structure of baked goods. Buffering action: SHMP has alkali and acid buffering properties helping to maintain pH during fermentation in bread-making and other processes. Chelation One of the most important functions of Sodium Hexametaphosphate is its ability to chelate or bind with metal ions through multiple coordination bonds. The glutamate and phosphate ligands in its structure allow it to bind strongly with various metal ions like calcium, magnesium, iron etc. This helps sequester or remove them from solutions. During the chelation process, SHMP forms stable water-soluble complexes with multivalent cations preventing their reaction or precipitation. The chelating action is reversible and under certain conditions, the metal ions can break free from these complexes. This property of SHMP finds extensive use in water softening, nutrient supplementation, heavy metal detoxification and other industrial applications. Get more insights on Sodium Hexametaphosphate

it's about the small acts of intimacy... forehead kisses, putting jewelry on you, rubbing your hand with their thumb, putting a jacket on you, touching your necklace, running your hands through their hair, wiping away their tears, peeling them an orange, un/zipping their dress, tying their shoelaces, holding hands, removing an eyelash from their cheek, washing their hair, putting an anklet on them, tucking their hair behind their ear, sorting out their collar, untangling their necklaces, drinking out of a cup in their hands

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

chimmy changa timmy, why do you hate muffins? am I missing some of the lore?

Timmy doesn't like how they taste. No matter who, how or where they're made, the muffins are all the same to him. It's frustrating because he knows they shouldn't be.

And each time he walks away feeling immense disappointment. Like something should've happened.

He does his best to avoid eating them, but, Timmy found that people react weirdly when you say you don't like muffins. So he eats them anyways. He's unfortunately surrounded by muffin-nuts.

Mom Update 9/9/24

Been about a month since my last update, but things are looking good. We had a snafu with medicaid but I think that's going to be solved, which means mom gets re-uped for more therapy. She's working hard, but not quite up to walking yet, though she's done standing exercises a few times!

We've had blessings, we've had issues. A lil of both. Thankfully I'm okay right now, but if you'd like to support my mom in bill payments or anything necessity wise that I need, I do wish to share the gofundme again. This makes sure I can pay monthly bills, the very persistent ambulance bill, and other things such as food/cat food

If you are uncomfortable giving though gofundme, donations can also be made through the following:

https://paypal.me/MistressOfFear?locale.x=en_US

https://ko-fi.com/mistressoffear

OR $CranesMistressOfFear on CashApp

I also have commissions / shop items on ko-fi for a small price/pay what you want and really would love something to work on for a distraction. I can make wallpapers, drabbles and headcanon lists. I could write just about anything sfw relating to Crane

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

the thing about culture that's difficult for a lot of people it seems to me is that "culture" is not some ontologically coherent Blob where you can sit at the table and someone will serve it to you and you get to just sit there and Receive it. or, it's not something you can dig up and carefully extract unchanged, if you sit carefully enough at your books, and then put on your mantle to admire. i'm a motherfucker whose career is about digging things up from books so i get the appeal, and yet that's not what Culture is, because culture is what you Do. so you already have one. what food do you eat? where do you live? what rituals do you perform? do you take your shoes off when you go inside?

culture is distinct from religion and ethnicity (though obviously it's interrelated with both), and deeply related to the place you live now and its customs and foodways and norms for politeness and hospitality, and what other populations live around you in the place you live now. trying to connect to the mystical immigrant old-country past of your ancestors is unlikely to get you the results you're looking for - culture is something you do every day and i promise you already have one. and you're already doing it. which means that you can also just as easily change the things you do if you don't like them.
