1.What is Calcium Citrate?

Calcium citrate is insoluble in water (0.1g/100mL, 25°C). Slightly hygroscopic. Gradually lose water of crystallization when heated to l00°C. ADI value is not specified (FAO/WHO, 1994). Calcium citrate is better absorbed than inorganic calcium as a food calcium fortifier. China regulations can be used in cereals and their products, the use of 8-16g/kg in milk beverages and beverages for 1.8-3.6g/kg. citric acid is a food flavor acid complexing agent, can be reacted with calcium oxalate of bile, kidney, bladder, and ureteral stones to produce soluble calcium citrate. White crystalline powder, odorless, slightly hygroscopic, slightly soluble in water, soluble in acid, almost insoluble in ethanol, water of crystals heated to 100 ° C gradual loss of water, 120 ° C when the water is completely lost.

2.How is Calcium Citrate produced?

In recent years, the process of synthesizing calcium citrate by directly reacting with citric acid using calcium carbonate or milk of lime as the neutralizing agent has been rapidly developed. Compared with calcium carbonate as neutralizing agent, milk of lime has strong alkalinity, large solubility and fast neutralization reaction speed. The synthesis of calcium citrate by adding citric acid solution into milk of lime has the advantages of simple process and low cost, which is convenient for large-scale production. Calcium citrate was synthesized by using milk of lime as a neutralizing agent, and its process and mechanism were studied. A new method for continuous synthesis of high-purity calcium citrate by on-line ion exchange of cation resin has been reported, and simultaneous automatic on-line monitoring of the operation status of the cation resin column and the content of calcium citrate in the effluent has been realized.

3.How is Calcium Citrate stored and distributed?

1. Food grade should be transported and stored according to food hygiene requirements. Avoid mixing and transporting, and load and unload lightly when handling to prevent damage to the package. 2. Precautions for safe operation: In places where dust is generated, provide suitable exhaust equipment. General fire protection measures. 3. Storage conditions:Keep sealed and keep away from light Temperature conditions:Room temperature 4. Moisture-proofing:To avoid the bag from breaking, to avoid its moisture and rain, so as to ensure that its properties will not change. To avoid unnecessary losses. 5. Anti-temperature: when under the influence of high temperature, performance, properties will be more or less affected, therefore, in the storage must avoid high temperature. 6. Fire prevention: When storing, pay special attention to fire prevention.

4.What is Calcium Citrate used for?

Calcium fortifier for food products with better absorption than inorganic calcium. It can be used for the fortification of many kinds of food, including infant formula, fruit juice, dairy products, solid drinks, sports drinks, cow's milk, soy milk, health care products and cereal products. It can be used in cereal and its products with the usage amount of 8~16g/kg, and in milk beverage and drinking liquid with the usage amount of 1.8~3.6g/kg. It is used as chelating agent, buffering agent, tissue coagulant, calcium fortifying agent, emulsifying salt and so on. Used to improve the baking properties of flour. Soluble in fats and oils - good stabilizer.
