Calcium Lactate is an inorganic chemical that has different applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. It is utilized as a food additive in the preparation of different grades of food products. It helps in preserving the edible product while maintaining its acidity. The compound also enhances the texture of the prepared food product and helps in increasing its shelf life. Also, it can be incorporated into the production of calcium supplements. Calcium Lactate is utilized in the production of calcium-based medications in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also included in the preparation of animal feeds, ensuring the sufficiency of calcium in animals as well. It is lactose-free and is also suitable for people with lactose intolerance.

The market for Calcium Lactate is mainly driven by its growing demand in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Its large-scale application in these sectors further grows the demand for its use in the chemical and food industries. It is a calcium-rich additive that is used widely in food production through items such as baked goods, beverages, dairy products, infant formulae and many others. Its use as a thickener and texture enhancer in food production has significantly contributed to its applications in the food industry. Moreover, its applications in the production of calcium supplements to cure calcium deficiency fuels its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Thus, industrial Calcium Lactate procurement is driven by its utilization in several industries, including the food and beverage industry, health and pharmaceutical, etc.

Raw Material for Calcium Lactate Production

According to the Calcium Lactate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Calcium Lactate include Lactic Acid-Calcium Compound.

Manufacturing Process of Calcium Lactate

The extensive Calcium Lactate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Lactic Acid and Calcium Compound: The manufacturing of Calcium Lactate involves a neutralization reaction. In this process, lactic acid is reacted with a basic calcium compound like calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. This reaction leads to the formation of calcium lactate salt and carbon dioxide or water as a byproduct, depending upon the chosen calcium compound.

Calcium Lactate, with a molecular formula C6H10CaO6, is a white crystalline powder. It consists of six carbon, ten hydrogen, one calcium, and six oxygen atoms with a molecular weight of 218.22 g/mol. It is produced commercially by the method of neutralization of lactic acid using a calcium salt forming a water-soluble compound as a product. However, it is highly insoluble in some chemical solvents, including ethanol. The compound has a melting point measuring above 120 °C. The compound can decompose on heating at higher temperatures. It decomposes while emitting acrid fumes into the air, and its pH ranges between 6 to 8.
