Five Leading Phosphates Manufacturers In China

Five Leading Phosphates Manufacturers In China

1. OEM

2. Guangxi Mingli Chemicals Co., Ltd

3. Jiangsu Chengxing Phosph-Chemicals Co.,Ltd

4. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical (Group) Co., Ltd.

5. Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd.

6. Jiangsu Chengxing Phosph-Chemicals Co.,Ltd

The distribution of phosphorus resources in China is concentrated in the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei. From the market point of view, commodity circulation in the market is still dominated by thermal phosphoric acid. Food-grade phosphoric acid (additive E338) is thermal processed. Wet-processed phosphoric acid has a series of advantages such as low energy consumption, small pollution, low cost and small impact on energy price fluctuation. It can produce phosphates after refining.



phosphoric acid


At present, wet-process phosphoric acid is generally associated with and mostly used for fertilizer production. With the rapid development of the global wet-processed phosphoric acid market, the demand for wet-processed phosphoric acid is higher and more volatile. Chinese key technology and equipment of wet process phosphoric acid refining have made great breakthroughs in recent years, therefore the quality of refined phosphoric acid has been comparable with that of thermal process phosphoric acid.

The recent Chinese environmental regulations caused great pressure on small and medium size enterprises and the yellow phosphorus industry. China's sales revenue of phosphate fertilizer industry reached 76.2 billion yuan in 2011, the year-on-year growth of 52.45%, industrial output value of 70.6 billion yuan, the year-on-year growth of 57.65%, production and marketing scale of growth has reached the highest level of history; China's phosphate fertilizer industry sales revenue was 85.322 billion yuan in 2012, year-on-year growth of 11.95%, industrial output value of 79.914 billion yuan, year-on-year growth of 13.19%.

Since Chinese environmental protection team started their work in Sichuan in early August, phosphoric acid price has risen. The phosphoric acid plants in Sichuan Province was discontinued for one months due to the inspection of environmental protection group. Manufacturers tentative restart at the end of August.
OKCHEM will release market analysis of yellow phosphorus.

Sucralose Market Has Great Potential

Sucralose (E955) presents as an important food additive and good substitute of sucrose as customers and food manufacturing industry are driving by a more healthy way of living and efficient performance. It is an artificial and noncaloric sweetener about 600-650 times sweeter than sucrose, 3 times than aspartame and acesulfame potassium, 2 times than sodium saccharin. It has the similar taste as sucrose.

At present, more than 120 countries and regions approved the usage of sucralose in food, health care, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) approved it as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).

Global Production and Consumption of Sucrose from 2009-2018

According to the statistics of USDA, sucrose production in Global production for marketing year 2017-2018 is up 9 million tons (raw value) to a record 180 million on gains in Brazil, China, the European Union, India, and Thailand. The consumption is relatively flat and at 172 million tons.

In China, during the 4th quarter of 2016, sucralose price was increased 100%. Recent years, the cost of Chinese local sucrose is high, therefore its production is slightly dropped, while the consumption of sugar is increasing. Marketing year 2015-2016 the annual gap of demand and supply was 5.9 million metric tons, which was 50% of the Chinese sucrose production. Part of the consumption is shifting from sucrose to sucralose and the potential of sucralose market is promising.

Common international brand names of sucralose-based sweeteners are Splenda, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren, and Nevella. Common Chinese brand names are Jinhe and Huayang. Jinhe has capacity of 500 metric tons and the capacity is increasing.

The Enzyme Modifying and Fermentation Techniques of Vital Wheat Gluten

The enzyme modifying technology of vital wheat gluten is to break high polymer protein peptide chains into small molecule peptide chain under catalytic hydrolysis of vital wheat gluten. The latest researches about enzyme modifying technology of this food additive could be summarized as follows:


1. Modify the functional properties




Vital Wheat Gluten okchem


The great amount of hydrophobic amino acid contained in vital wheat gluten, will form a layer of moist gluten structure of nets after it contact with aqua. The low solubleness of gluten effects the properties of emulsifying and foaming. The viscoelastic extension of gluten protein makes it a good source of film forming.

However, its hygroscopicity and high oxygen permeability restrain the the applications. Scientists use MTG to modify the vital wheat gluten and found that the coagulability, emulsifiability, foamability and foaming stability of modified gluten are improved by 96.7%、43.5%、32.0% and 75.9%.


2. Acquire functional peptides

Vital wheat gluten could be degraded to peptides such as anti-oxide peptides, ACE-I, or immunomdodulating peptides. The inoxidizability of anti-oxide peptides is higher than protein and amino. ACE-I could lower the content of plasma angiotension and therefore could help to lower blood pressure.

Glutamine peptidess (Gln) extracted from vital wheat gluten by enzymatic hydrolysis technique are relatively more stable than traditional Gln and could replace glutamine. It could also accelerate cell multiplication and enhance the immune of intestinal function. In addition, it is the premise of glutathione synthesis and the main source of Antioxidant scavenging free radicals in bodies.


3. Infer the structural properties of wheat protein based on acquired peptides

Inferring the structural properties of wheat protein is a new and ongoing research in the study of the additive. This research is limited to extraction and finding amino orders, in stead of integrate research on the protein structure as a whole.

Fermentation technique is often used for degradation of alcohol-soluble protein in vital wheat gluten. Carlo Giuseppe Rizzello found ferment treated bread dough has higher digestion rate and nutrition. S.M’hir discovered enterococcus and fungal proteinase could degrade 98% protein of vital wheat gluten while in long-time fermentation. This suggests that this fermentation technique could be used in non-glutenin food processing.

Vital Wheat Gluten Uses In Food Industry

The study and uses of vital wheat gluten is a long history. In the 6th century, it was recorded on Chinese documents. In 1728, Beccari discovered wheat gluten. It is the substance after starch and other water-soluble components are washed off from wheat flour.

Vital Wheat Gluten Uses - OKCHEM

Properties of Vital Wheat Gluten

Vital wheat gluten contains 75-85% protein. It is also a nutritious plant protein resource consisting of eight primary amino acids. Glutamic acid and glutamine counts 35% of the total content of amino acids, while proline counts 16%.

Vital wheat gluten has strong hygroscopicity, viscoelastic extension, film formability, adhesion heat coagulability and liposuction emulsifiability. It has mild and mellow flavor, somewhat has a variety of unique physical properties of grain, meeting multi-functional requirements of food nutrition.

Applications in Food and Feed Industries

As a byproduct of wheat and flour processing, vital wheat gluten and bran is often used as the foundation of high-grade aquatic feeds.

In food industry, it is widely used in bread, noodles, instant noodles production to greatly improve the water absorption ability, viscoelastic extension and then improve the overall quality of the food. Also vital wheat gluten uses in meat products like fish cakes or sausages as water retention agent and enhance the viscoelastic ability. You’ll also find Vital wheat gluten in many edible films.

The studies of its deep processing and functional food become more popular and sometimes the value of vital wheat gluten is higher than the wheat flour. Wheat protein peptide could improve inoxidizability, antihypertensive and immune system, therefore extract bioactive peptides from vital wheat gluten became an import study in its deep processing.
