Dicalcium phosphate is used as an antioxidant in food, reports the University of Bristol School of Chemistry. An antioxidant is a compound that inhibits an oxidizing reaction. In technical terms, oxidation is a reaction that transfers electrons. More colloquially, oxidation is the same process that causes rusting to occur. It also happens whenever your body breaks down food. This reaction produces molecules known as free radicals that can damage cells and are thought to play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
