Calcium Chloride Anhydrous Food Grade (FG) is a high-purity calcium chloride product that meets strict food safety standards, making it suitable for direct use in food processing applications. With a minimum CaCl2 content of 94% and tightly controlled limits on heavy metals, it is widely used across the food industry in Brazil as a firming agent, preservative, and stabilizer. Its anhydrous form ensures high concentration and effectiveness in various industrial and food-related processes.
Food Industry Applications in Brazil
In Brazil's growing food processing sector, Calcium Chloride Anhydrous FG plays an essential role. It is used as a firming agent in canned vegetables and legumes, helping maintain texture and crispness during processing. In dairy production, it is added to milk prior to cheesemaking to restore calcium balance and improve curd formation. It is also used in tofu manufacturing and as a preservative to extend the shelf life of packaged food products.
Chemical Properties and Quality Standards
Calcium Chloride Anhydrous FG complies with GB/T22214-2008 quality standards and is subject to strict controls on contaminants including mercury, lead, and arsenic. Its high solubility and rapid dissolution rate make it effective even in small concentrations. The product is supplied in prill or granular form, ensuring ease of handling and accurate dosing in food processing environments.
Handling and Storage
Calcium Chloride Anhydrous FG should be stored in sealed 25kg bags or big bags in a dry, well-ventilated environment. As an anhydrous compound, it absorbs moisture readily from the air, so containers must remain tightly closed at all times. Standard food-grade handling practices apply, including the use of clean equipment and appropriate PPE. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) should be consulted for full handling and emergency guidelines.
