Product Specifications
DFI-906429DFI-476940
DFI-906429
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Appearance: | Tricalcium citrate is a white, odourless, crystalline powder or fine powder |
| Applications: | Due to it's functional properties and health benefits, tricalcium citrate is widely used as a calcium source in foodstuffs, nutritional supplements, dietary products and pharmaceutical applications |
| CAS No.: | 5785-44-4 |
| Characteristic: | It is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in diluted hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In contrary to other salts, TCC is better soluble at lower temperatures (so- called "inverse solubility"). It is practically insoluble in alcohol |
| Characteristic: | Conforms |
| Colour and Appearance: | BY min. 6 |
| Country of origin: | Germany |
| E number: | E333 |
| Formula: | (C6H5O7)2Ca3.4 H2O |
| General Information: | The most commonly used calcium salt of citric acid is tricalcium dicitrate tetrahydrate, hereinafter rererred to as a tricalcium citrate (TCC). In some countries such as USA, TCC is simply denominated calcium citrate. It is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity calcium source such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. With it's high calcium content of 21%, tricalcium citrate is the most economic calcium salt among the commonly used organic calcium salts |
