Additionally, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and GMP+ certified, Issue Date April 6, 2012

Packaging & Storage25 kilogram plastic bags, packed 40 bags per pallet, valve lock bag.Calcium chloride is extremely hygroscopic (absorbs water). Store in a dry location and re-seal any open containers. nedMag Ca® prills food grade have a minimum shelf life of 2 years, when stored in a dry area in which the uptake of moisture is avoided.

ApplicationsCalcium chloride (CaCl2), is an extremely versatile chemical compound. Its unique chemical and physical characteristics ensure it is used in a variety of applications. Some of the markets and applications for our Calcium chloride Food Grade are:

Dairy Products - Ingredient in fortification or enrichment – eg Cheese Production

Beer Production – To adjust hardness of the water

Canned Foods – To increase firmness

Desalination process – To adjust hardness of the water

Fresh Apples – To help prevent cork spotting and bitter pitting

Cherries and Olives – To maintain firmness

Other Applications – Beverage, electrolyte drinks, and bottled water

Calcium Chloride Food GradeApplicationsCalcium chloride (CaCl2), is an extremely versatile chemical compound.

Ingredient in Fortification or Enrichment of Diary ProductsCalcium chloride is used in the production of cheese:

• Promoting greater curd firming and whey expulsion which produces a firmer textured cheese with a drier appearance, lower in moisture content, and acidity.

• Calcium chloride is used as a source of calcium.

Processing Aid in BeerIn breweries Calcium chloride is used for the following purposes:

• As mineralic nutriment for yeasts and bacteria’s in fermentation processes.

• Regulate hardness of water.

• For the sedimentation of unwanted oxalic acid, to avoid clouding in the beer.

• pH adjustment.

Canned Vegetables and FruitCalcium chloride is used in:

• Pickled foods

• Canned food

• Sprayed fruit and vegetables

Because Calcium chloride has an extremely salty taste, it is ideal for pickling.

An added benefit of using it in this manner is that it doesn’t increase the food’s sodium levels.

In the case of canning, it helps vegetables stay firm.

When spraying fruit and vegetables you avoid the growing of black spots by lack of calcium. Calcium chloride increases the shelf life of sprayed fruit and vegetables.

Desalination ProcessCalcium chloride Food Grade is used in the desalination process to adjust hardness.

Other ApplicationsCalcium Chloride Food Grade is used as additives in beverage industry including sport drinks that provide electrolytes. Also used in starch derivatives
