Calcium Citrate is a versatile ingredient with multiple applications across various industries. It serves as a highly bioavailable source of calcium, making it ideal for use in calcium supplements and fortified foods. Additionally, it functions as an effective acidity regulator, buffering pH levels in food and beverage products. Calcium Citrate also acts as a chelating agent, binding metals to prevent oxidation, and as a firming agent, improving the texture of processed foods.
Target Industries and Applications: Dietary supplements, food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals.
