Calcium Lactate: Our Calcium Lactate is a premium quality product and an extract of Lactic Acid. It works well in the production of Caviar, pearls, spaghetti and spheres using spherification techniques. Calcium Lactate can also be used to coat fresh fruit and cantaloupes to keep them firm and extend the shelf life. It's a white non-hygroscopic salt and is a recommended source of calcium. It provides calcium salts in a soluble form to react with Alginate, Gellan or certain kinds of Carrageenan which permit gel formation without heating. Its taste is more discreet than Calcium Chloride (salty and sometimes bitter). Calcium Lactate is recommended for all reactions of inverse spherification and reacts where Alginate and Calcium sources are intimately mixed when in a diffuse setting or full contact gelling. Calcium Lactate also works well in the production of drops, Caviar pearls and all shapes of spaghetti by immersion of an Alginate solution in a Calcium setting bath. Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free,
- Use in spherification and reverse spherification techniques
- Coat fruit and vegetables to extend shelf life
- A source of calcium
- Works well in the production of Caviar pearls, spaghetti and spheres using spherification techniques.

How to use:
Use from 1 to 9% Calcium Lactate to provide Calcium ions in a setting bath for hydrocolloids that reacts with Calcium ions such as Sodium Alginate, Gellan Gum, Carrageenan Iota, Carrageenenan Kappa and Pectin.
This type is recommended for all applications where Calcium salt will be readily mixed with other ingredients and eaten (diffusion setting, blending Alginate with Calcium rich solutions). It is used at 1% for these applications. Can be used as a source of calcium fortification. Solubility limits: 10g per 100 ml.
