High Bioavailability Calcium Citrate
,Acidity Regulation E333
,Chelating Agent Tricalcium Dicitrate
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.
- High Bioavailability: Easily absorbed calcium source
- Acidity Regulation: Maintains optimal pH levels
- Chelating Agent: Prevents oxidation by binding metals
- Texture Improvement: Enhances firmness in processed foods
Dietary supplements, food and beverage industry, medicals.
