Food grade calcium chloride plays a role in preservation

Food grade calcium chloride is white powder or flake. It has no bitter taste and is extremely hygroscopic. It is easily deliquescent when exposed to air. It is easily soluble in water. The aqueous solution is clear and transparent. At the same time, it releases a lot of heat and dissolves. In alcohol, acetone, acetic acid, and the like.

We all know that calcium chloride is a highly hygroscopic desiccant. In some food packaging bags, we often see a white dry bag, which is calcium chloride. This is the calcium chloride desiccant. Food can play a certain role in preservation and drying. Anhydrous calcium chloride can also be used as a desiccant for gases to produce dehydrating agents for alcohols, esters, ethers and acrylic resins. It can also be used as a calcium enhancer, a curing agent, and a chelating agent in the food industry.
