The main use of E516 is to produce plaster of Paris and stucco. These applications exploit the fact that E516 which has been powdered and calcined forms a moldable paste upon hydration and hardens as crystalline E516 dihydrate. It is also convenient that E516 is poorly soluble in water and does not readily dissolve in contact with water after its solidification.
The E516 hydrates are used as a coagulant in products such as tofu.
For the FDA, it is permitted in Cheese and Related Cheese Products; Cereal Flours; Bakery Products; Frozen Desserts; Artificial Sweeteners for Jelly & Preserves; Condiment Vegetables; and Condiment Tomatoes and some candies.
It is known in the E number series as E516, and the UN's FAO knows it as a firming agent, a flour treatment agent, a sequestrant, and a leavening agent.
