Calcium
lactate is a black or white crystalline salt made by the action of lactic acid on calcium carbonate. It is used in foods (as an ingredient
in baking
powder) and given
medicinally. Its E number is E327. It is created by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
Detailed Description:
Cheese crystals usually consist of calcium
lactate, especially those found on the outside, on younger cheese, and on
Cheddar cheese.[1][2]
In medicine, calcium lactate is most commonly used as an antacid and
also to treat calcium deficiencies. Calcium lactate can be absorbed at
various pHs and
does not need to be taken with food for absorption for these reasons.
Calcium lactate is added to sugar-free foods to prevent tooth decay.
When added to chewing gum containing xylitol,
it increases the remineralization of tooth enamel. It
is also added to fresh-cut fruits, such as cantaloupes,
to keep them firm and extend their shelf life, without the bitter taste caused
by calcium chloride, which can also be used for
this purpose.
It is also found in some over the counter mouth washes.
