It is a salt.
Na4P2O7
The chemical formula of tetrasodium pyrophosphate is: Na4P2O7. The structural formula is: (P surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms)-(bonding at a common O)-(to another P surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms), yielding the pyrophosphate ion. 4 sodium ions (Na+) bind to that complex via ionic bonds.
to keep mineral crystals from building up on the fish (sodium acid pyrophosphate). Sodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive. Common foods containing sodium pyrophosphate include chicken nuggets, marshmallows, pudding, crab meat, imitation crab, canned tuna, and soy-based meat alternatives. "Sodium pyrophosphate, also called tetrasodium pyrophosphate or tetrasodium phosphate, is a slightly toxic and mildly irritating colorless transparent crystalline chemical compound with the formula Na4P2O7 and CAS number 7722-88-5. It contains the pyrophosphate ion. Toxicity is approximately twice that of table salt when digested orally[1]."
A few of the permitted food additives in organic foods a reacidified sodium chlorite, ethylene, and tetrasodium pyrophosphate.
There is a chemical called tetrasodium pyrophosphate which reacts with the milk to thicken. As soy or other plant based "milk" do not contain the key dairy ingredients instant pudding will not gel when they are used. This chemical is also used in soaps and detergents.
It is French for pyrophosphate disodium.
Great Value marshmallows are made from sugar, corn syrup, modified cornstarch, dextrose, water, gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, artificial flavor, and blue 1. So basically, they're a delightful combination of sugar, chemicals, and artificial flavorings. Enjoy!
No. Pyrophosphate, while present in living systems, is an inorganic compound.
The ion biphosphate is (HPO4)2-.The ion pyrophosphate is (P2O7)4-.

It can also be called disodium pyrophosphate, but it doesn't have a more common name. It can be one of the ingredients of baking powder.
Yes. Pyrophosphate is a simple negative ion, consisting of just phosphorus and oxygen. Gluten is a protein.
