Calcium Malate Hydrate

Calcium malate hydrate is the hydrated calcium salt of malic acid, the dicarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in apples and other fruits, with water of crystallisation in its structure. Nustras supplies it as a white powder, a micronised powder and as a directly compressible granule, an organic-acid calcium source for the supplement and food sectors.

Calcium malate hydrate is formulated into calcium and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, into calcium-fortified foods and beverages, and into direct-compression tablet blends where the granular grade is used.

The material is a white to off-white, odourless powder or granule. Calcium content, water content, loss on drying, pH and particle size are standardised to specification; calcium is determined by complexometric titration or ICP, identity is confirmed by the compendial tests for calcium and malate, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium malate hydrate 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 malate is a permitted calcium source for supplements and fortified foods in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-calcium contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
