Muby Chemicals, established in 1976, is
the pioneer manufacturer of Chlorides, and particularly Calcium Chloride and
various other chemicals in
India. Mubychem Group
has several manufacturing facilities spread across
Western India. Muby chemicals know about Calcium
Chloride better than any other vendor in the world.
We manufacture all
grades of Calcium Chloride including Calcium Chloride Dihydrate CaCl2.2H2O
Anhydrous and Calcium Chloride Solution Food Grade.
Calcium Chloride Dihydrate CaCl2.2H2O is offered in Pharmacopoeia grades
like IP BP USP EP and even in food grade FCC and in Analytical Reagent grade
AR or ACS. Below is the specifications of FCC Calcium Chloride of Food
Chemical codex or Food Grade. Links are also available for other grades of
Calcium Chloride on this page and on other pages of our website.

Calcium Chloride
DESCRIPTION
Calcium Chloride occurs as
white, hard fragments, granules, or powder. It is anhydrous or contains two
molecules of water of hydration. It is deliquescent. It is soluble in water
and slightly soluble in
alcohol. The pH of a 1:20 aqueous solution is between 4.5 and 11.0.
Function Firming
agent.REQUIREMENTS
Labeling: Indicate whether it is anhydrous or the
dihydrate.
Identification: A
1:10 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Calcium and for Chloride.
Assay: Anhydrous:
Not less than 93.0% and not more than 100.5% of CaCl2; Dihydrate: Not
less than 99.0% and not more than 107.0% of CaCl2·2H2O.
Acid-Insoluble Matter Anhydrous: Not more than 0.02%; no particles per kilogram of
sample greater than 2 mm in any dimension.
Arsenic: Not more
than 3 mg/kg.
Fluoride: Not more
than 0.004%.
Lead: Not more than
5 mg/kg.
Magnesium and Alkali
Salts Anhydrous: Not more than 5.0%; Dihydrate: Not more
than 4.0%.
Calcium Chloride Solution FCC; US Food Chemical Codex
Calcium ChlorideDESCRIPTION
Calcium Chloride Solution
occurs as a clear to slightly turbid, colorless or slightly colored liquid
at room temperature. It is normally available in a concentration range of
about 35% to 45% of CaCl2.
Function: Sequestrant; firming agent.
REQUIREMENTS
Identification: When
diluted to a concentration of about 1:10 (CaCl2 basis), a sample gives
positive tests for Calcium and for Chloride.
Assay: Not less than
90.0% and not more than 110.0%, by weight, of the labeled amount of calcium
chloride, expressed as CaCl2.
Alkalinity [as
Ca(OH)2]: Not more than 0.3%.
Fluoride: Not more
than 0.004%, calculated on the amount of CaCl2 as determined in the Assay.
Lead: Not more than
4 mg/kg, calculated on the amount of CaCl2 as determined in the Assay.
Magnesium and Alkali
Salts: Not more than 5.0%, calculated on the amount of Calcium
Chloride as
determined in the Assay.
Uses (food)
As an ingredient, it is
listed as a permitted food additive in the European Union for use as a
sequestrant
and firming
agent with the
E number
E509. The anhydrous form has been approved by the FDA as a packaging aid to
ensure dryness (CPG 7117.02).
It is commonly used as an
Electrolyte
and has an extremely
salty
taste, as found in sports drinks and other beverages such as
Smartwater
and Nestle
bottled water. It can also be used as a preservative to maintain firmness in
canned vegetables or in higher concentrations in
pickles
to give a salty taste while not increasing the food's
sodium
content. It is also used in brewing beers.
It is also used in making cheese. It improves curd size and texture when
using store bought milk. One teaspoon of 30% solution will treat 2 gallons
of milk, adding rennet to the cheese mixture.
