Calcium lactate
SINOBIO
2835299090
L-Calcium Lactate is an organic calcium salt synthesized from L-lactic acid and calcium source, presented as white crystalline powder with mild creamy taste, registered CAS 814-80-2. Our factory adopts bio-fermentation lactic acid raw materials and low-temperature crystallization process to produce 99% high-purity finished powder, strictly controlling heavy metals, microbial colonies and residual lactic acid content to meet international food additive standards.
Compared with inorganic calcium such as calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate, L-Calcium Lactate features superior solubility, mild pH value and high human/animal absorption rate without stomach irritation. It serves as a safe calcium fortifier and stabilizer, suitable for food processing, nutritional supplements, animal feed and pharmaceutical auxiliary materials. We supply food grade and feed grade specifications to satisfy different downstream production demands.
Chemical Name: Calcium lactate
CAS Number: 814-80-2
Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₀CaO₆·xH₂O (commonly pentahydrate: C₆H₁₀CaO₆·5H₂O)
Molecular Weight: Anhydrous form 218.22; Pentahydrate form 308.30
EINECS Number: 212-406-7
Appearance: White to milky white crystals or powder, odorless, with a slightly bitter taste.
Solubility: Easily soluble in hot water, soluble in cold water, insoluble in ethanol, chloroform or ether.
Stability: Stable in air; loses crystal water to become anhydrous when heated to 120℃.
pH Value: The pH value of 1% aqueous solution is 6.0～7.0.
Melting Point: Approximately 240℃ (decomposes).
Density: Approximately 1.5 g/cm³.
Chemical Properties: It is an organic calcium salt, which can react with acids to form lactic acid and with bases to form calcium hydroxide precipitation.
As a calcium fortifier, it is used in dairy products, beverages, grains, infant food, etc., to supplement calcium needed by the human body. It is also used as an acidity regulator, stabilizer and coagulant, such as a coagulant in tofu production.
As a calcium supplement, it is used for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency diseases, such as osteoporosis, tetany, rickets, etc.
As a feed additive, it is used for calcium supplementation in livestock and poultry, promoting bone development and improving production performance.
