Calcium Lactate Pentahydrate

Calcium lactate pentahydrate is the calcium salt of L-lactic acid crystallised with five molecules of water, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder and in a granular grade as a soluble, neutral-tasting organic calcium source for supplements, food fortification and pharmaceutical preparations.

It is formulated into calcium and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, into fortified beverages, dairy and plant-based drinks, confectionery, bakery and cheese products, infant and medical nutrition, mineral premixes and animal feed, and as a firming agent in foods.

The material is a white crystalline powder or granule, soluble in water (CAS 5743-47-5; molecular formula C6H20CaO11, molecular weight 308.29). Assay, loss on drying, pH, chloride and sulfate are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by the compendial tests for calcium and lactate, assay by complexometric EDTA titration, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium lactate pentahydrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Calcium lactate (E327) is an accepted food additive and supplement mineral source in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-calcium contribution and permitted level for their application.
