What is Calcium Acetate ?

Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C2H3O2)2. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name.

Calcium Acetate isloose fine powder, odorless and slight bitter. Relative density is 1.50. It has strong moisture absorption. It will be broken up into CaCO3 and acetone when heated to 160ºC. Highly soluble in water. Slightly soluble in water. Calcium acetate is calcium salt of acetic acid. As a food additive used as a nutrient, buffering agent, stabilizing or firming agent, leavening agent and to inhibit the growth of many bacteria and molds.

What are the uses of Calcium Acetate？

Calcium acetate in the food industry has served as a mold suppression agent stabilizer, buffer and increasing the use of scent, which itself has excellent calcium, which also can be used for medicine, chemical reagents.

1. Used as a food stabilizer, corrosion inhibitor, and acetate synthesis.

2. Used in the production of acetone, acetic acid and polyester industries.

3. Calcium acetate is one kind of food calcium fortifier, and the absorption effect is better than that of inorganic calcium.

4. Chelating agent; antifungal agent; stabilizer; buffer; flavoring agent; preservative; curing agent; nutrition fortifier; Ph value regulator; processing aid. 5. Used in analytical reagents, organic synthesis, printing and dyeing and pharmaceutical industries, or as food stabilizers, chelating agents, fungicides, buffers, flavoring agents, corrosion inhibitors.
