Product Description
Calcium Gluconate CAS 299-28-5
Product Overview

Calcium gluconate is an organic calcium salt with the chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₄Ca. It appears as a white crystalline or granular powder, melting at 201°C (decomposes). It is odorless, tasteless, soluble in boiling water (20g/100mL), slightly soluble in cold water (3g/100mL, 20°C), and insoluble in ethanol or ethers and other organic solvents. The aqueous solution is neutral (pH approximately 6-7).

Calcium gluconate is primarily used in food as a calcium fortifier, nutrient, buffer, curing agent, and chelating agent.
