Product Description

Food preservatives Calcium Acetate Grnular & Powder CAS 5743-26-0

Calcium acetate, also known as acetate of lime or vinegar salts, is the calcium salt of acetic acid. It is an odorless powder. Calcium has an important role in the nutrition of humans and animals. Hormonal mechanisms control absorption of dietary calcium (including added calcium salts) allowing adaptation to a range of calcium intakes while maintaining a relatively constant blood calcium concentration of about 10 mg/100 mL. Major functions of calcium inside the body include the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth, the physiology of muscle contraction, the cell membrane integrity, the activity of several enzymes that have specific requirement for it, the coagulation of blood, and the regulation of acid-base balance

Uses:
Calcium acetate [Ca(CH3COO)2.H2O] is used as a food additive and a mordant to fix dyes in the textile industry. It is used as an alkali (base) in the manufacture of soaps, to improve some lubricants, and as an antimold to preserve baked goods for a longer shelf life.

Calcium acetate monohydrate is used to precipitate oxalates in solution. It is used to control the phosphate levels in blood, thereby controlling the bone problems. It is also involved in the neutralization of fluoride in water. Further, it is used as a food additive mainly in candy products. In addition to this, it serves as a stabilizer, buffer and sequestrant.
