Food - Leavening agent : Monocalcium phosphate (MCPcap M cap C cap P) is a leavening agent in baked goods, pancake mixes, and cake mixes. It reacts with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide, which makes baked goods rise.

Flour additive : Monocalcium phosphate can be added to flour to improve its consistency and as an acid-neutralizing agent.

Animal feed - Feed additive: Monocalcium phosphate is a highly digestible additive in animal feed, especially for pigs and poultry. It's also used in feed premixes for calves and aquaculture.
