Calcium carbonate chemical formula CaCO3, is a chemical substance, calcium carbonate is a commonly used surface agent, is the main component of marble calcium carbonate can be divided into edible calcium carbonate and light calcium carbonate. Food grade light calcium carbonate is often used as a food additive. It is used for food preservation in the production of food. Calcium carbonate can make the cake a kind of food surface fluffy, good taste, edible calcium carbonate is high purity calcium carbonate, its particles are small, more easily absorbed by the human body, so as to play the role of calcium supplement. Let us understand together below!

Light calcium carbonate is widely used in modern life calcium nutrition food industry,  ans is dairy products, meat products and flour products, dairy milk powder, milk tablets, beverages, products and other industries of high-quality nutrition fortification additives.

It can be used in the production of milk powder, beverages, cakes, milk tablets, etc., so as to increase the calcium nutrients, make it fluffy and taste better.

In the process of preparing penicillin, streptomycin and oxytetracycline, a large amount of calcium carbonate is required. It is used as an additive in food to ensure the necessary calcium intake of the human body, such as chewing gum, chocolate and yogurt, calcium tablets, jelly and other beverages as a fortifier to meet the body's calcium needs.

Edible grade CaCo3 content is high, low impurities, Pb, As, Hg, Fe and other indicators are particularly low.

The use of unique high-purity natural calcium carbonate ore, in accordance with the United States FCC recommended advanced technology processing, the entire processing process without chemical additives, to ensure the high purity and natural characteristics of the product.

Product features: high purity, most products calcium carbonate content of more than 99.0; high whiteness, selected from natural high whiteness flawless ore, product typical whiteness ≥ 95; low impurity content.

Product application: According to the provisions of GB2760, the product can be applied to: food processing as an alkaline agent, nutritional supplements, dough regulator, curing agent, yeast nutrients, anti-caking agent, loose agent, gum sugar additives and modifiers.

The role of light calcium carbonate: 

Typical applications: calcium fortified food, gum base, leavening agent, flour products, breakfast cereals, biscuits, dairy products, soft capsules, etc. At the same time, the product is an ideal reaction raw material for organic calcium salts such as high purity pharmaceutical grade calcium citrate, calcium lactate, calcium citrate-malate, calcium gluconate, etc., meeting the strict requirements of customers in the international market for low lead and low impurity content.

Calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound, commonly known as limestone, limestone, stone powder, marble, calcite, is a compound, chemical formula is CaCO3, neutral, basically insoluble in water, soluble in acid. It is a common substance on Earth, found in aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, travertine and other rocks. It is also the main component of animal bones or shells. Calcium carbonate is an important building material and is widely used in industry.

The main purpose:

Light calcium carbonate can be used as leavening agent, flour treatment agent, anti-caking agent, acidity regulator, nutrition enhancer, curing agent, etc. China's provisions can be used to add all kinds of food and gum gum gum base, according to GMP. Can also be used as flour improver, the general usage amount is 0.03; Milk powder 7.5~18g; Soybean milk powder, bean powder 4~20g; Soft drinks 0.4~3.4g; Lotus root starch 6~8g; Instant breakfast cereal products 2~7g.
