Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of your body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body. Calcium lactate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies
It may be used to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones ( osteomalacia /rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough calcium (e.g., women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone).
It is used in foods (as an ingredient in baking powder) .While it's used as a calcium supplement and to fortify foods, calcium lactate fills a variety of roles in the food industry as an approved firming agent, thickener, flavour enhancer and leavening agent.
The company produces following type of Grade:
Lactic acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)COOH. In its solid state, it is white and water-soluble. In its liquid state, it is colorless. It is produced both naturally and synthetically
Lactic acid is an organic acid fermented of sugar or glucose by Lactobacillus sps.
It used in sugar, Confessionary, Bakery, Jamsâ??, Jelly, Frozen fruit desserts, Pickles.
It is also uses in other food, dairy, beverages, soft drinks and carbonated fruit juice industries.
Lactic Acid is available in 88% Heat Stable Purity and alos in 80 % purity.
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, and has a mild saline taste. Sodium lactate is prepared by purifying product of neutralization of lactic acid prepared by fermenting grains. The usage amount is regulated in food additive agent usage standard e-325 that can be used accordingly in any food. Moreover, it has been widely used in meat & poultry, sauces, bakery, etc products as preservative, emulsifier, seasoning & flavoring agent.
Features of sodium lactate
Act as a food preservative.
It acts as humectants which helps food retain water & moisture longer.
It can be used as seasoning agent, emulsifier.
Thermal-insulating agent.
Antioxidant enhancer.
It helps in regulating ph of the food.
Improve & enhance flavors and textures of food products.
It can prolong shelf life by 2 to 3 times in comparison to others.
