Best Answer

Non-phosphate may be referred to a certain chemical or mixture which has similar functions to phosphate but it is not phosphate.

Phosphates are additives permitted to use in food industry of various kinds : processing meat products, cake, baking powder, cheese,... In seafood processing, Phosphates help enhance water holding capacity and preventing seafood protein from denaturation during freezing storage. However, some buyers ask seafood processors not to use phosphates in seafood processing because they are afraid seafood processors overuse phosphates for higher water uptake as a commercial fraud. the processors can use "non-phosphates" for their processing to meet customer requirements.

The water holding capacity of non-phosphates, of course , is less than phosphates.
