Calcium chloride
Introduction:
Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt, which exists as solid or liquid. Solid calcium chloride is a white, crystal substance in the form of flake, granule, pellet or powder. With different crystallized water contents, we have 74%,77%,84%,94% calcium chloride. Liquid calcium chloride is a colorless, clear solution.
As calcium chloride has such properties as quick dissolving, exothermic ability, attracting moisture from the air and surroundings, dissolving at very low temperature, it is widely used in melting the ice and snow, removing dust, drilling oil, moisture absorption and so on.
Properties:
Calcium chloride anhydrous is white granular or power, having a strong hygroscopic, relative denisty 2.512, melting point 772°c, boiling point more than 1600°c. Soluble in water, alcohol and acetone.
USAGE
This standard is applicable to the food-grade additive calcium chloride made from limestone and industrial hydrochloric acid.It is mainly applied to food solidifying agent, desiccating agent as well as feed additive.
Food industry
1) cheese production for speed up the process of milk protein coagulation
2) PH adjustment in brewing industry
3)Fruits and vegetables pre- and post harvest treatment
4)fruits and vegetabales preservation( canning ,pickling )
5)meat and ice-cream freezing point decreasing
6)water treatment for soft drinks production
7) jelly products(ice topping ,fruit preparation jams. confifures)
8) used in Molecular Gastromy to create "spheres"
