Calcium Lactate Powder

Calcium Lactate 98% is a calcium salt of lactic acid with the chemical formula Ca(C₃H₅O₃)₂, typically supplied as a white, odorless, crystalline powder or fine granules. It is known for its good stability, mild taste, and high bioavailability, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and nutritional applications.

This compound is readily soluble in water, forming clear to slightly turbid solutions, and is commonly used as a calcium supplement in dietary formulations. Due to its neutral taste and easy digestibility, it is widely incorporated into fortified foods, beverages, and pharmaceutical preparations.

In the food industry, calcium lactate functions as a firming agent, stabilizer, and preservative (E327), helping maintain texture and extend shelf life. It is also used in bakery products, dairy items, and processed fruits and vegetables. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a mineral supplement and excipient, while in industrial applications it is used in chemical processing and fermentation.

Calcium lactate is chemically stable under normal conditions, non-toxic, and safe when handled properly. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product quality.
