  • CAS No.: 142606 - 53 - 9
  • Molecular Formula: C₁₆H₁₄Ca₄O₁₉
  • Molecular Weight: 670.583
• Physical and Chemical Properties
  • Appearance: White powder.
  • Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, but its solubility is significantly better than that of similar products. The solubility increases with the decrease of pH value, and it still has good solubility in a slightly alkaline and near - neutral environment. Temperature has little effect on its solubility.

  • Taste: Odorless and tasteless, with a good fruity taste and a soft mouthfeel.
• Product Characteristics
  • High Absorbability: The calcium in calcium citrate malate has a high absorption rate in the human body. Its absorption and utilization rate can reach 37.3%, which is significantly higher than that of traditional calcium agents such as calcium carbonate.
  • High Safety: It has few side effects and very low toxicity. It does not affect the absorption of other nutrients such as iron, zinc, selenium, and magnesium, and does not increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
  • Good Flavor: As a calcium fortifier, it has a good flavor and will not have an adverse impact on the taste and flavor of food.
• Application Fields
  • Health Food: It can be used to make various calcium - supplementing health foods, such as tablets, capsules, and powders.
  • Food Industry: As a food nutrient fortifier, it is added to a variety of foods, such as milk and dairy products, beverages, and pastries, to increase the calcium content in food.
• Quality Standards
  • The quality standard for calcium citrate malate as a food additive is GB 1903.18 "National Food Safety Standard - Food Nutrient Fortifier - Calcium Citrate Malate", which clearly stipulates the composition indicators of calcium citrate malate.
• Precautions
  • Excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, bloating, and constipation. It may also cause hypercalcemia, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, difficulty breathing, and bone or muscle pain.
