Calcium Lactate Pentahydrate Food Grade is used in the food industry as an approved firming agent, curing agent, gel agent, thickener, flavor enhancer and leavening agent. It is also used to regulate acidity levels, in cheese making, as baking soda ( baking powder) in baking, and it is also used as a buffer and as such is a constituent of baking powders. It's commonly used as a calcium fortifier in various food products including beverages and supplements. It is also used as a preservative, when added to fresh-cut fruits, it keeps foods firm and extends the shelf life, without a bitter taste. Calcium lactate pentahydrate food grade is used in sugar-free foods to prevent tooth from decaying. When added to chewing gum containing xylitol, it increases the remineralization of tooth enamel. Itâ??s also used in dentifrices to avoid the loss of tooth enamel and remove tartar from tooth surface.
