Magnesium sulfate is highly soluble in water. The anhydrous form is strongly hygroscopic, and can be used as a desiccant. It is the primary substance that causes the absorption of sound in seawater (acoustic energy is converted to thermal energy).
Many benefits have been claimed to result from the use of polyphosphates. This section describes those effects for which good evidence exists. The following section tells what polyphosphates will not do. The main value of polyphosphates lies in improving the retention of water by the protein in fish.The manner in which they do this is not clearly understood, but their effect is mainly on the surface of the fish. Other substances such as common salt give similar results but with undesirable flavour effects.any benefits have been claimed to result from the use of polyphosphates.
