Calcium Chloride Dihydrate - E 509

Calcium Chloride Dihydrate (CaCl₂ · 2H₂O) is a white, hygroscopic salt with high water solubility. Containing about 72–77% pure calcium chloride, it is versatile and easy to handle. It is used in fields such as food production, aquaristics, water treatment, and technical processes.

Applications

In food processing, calcium chloride dihydrate is used as a firming agent to stabilize the texture of fruits, vegetables, and cheese. In cheese making, it improves milk coagulation and contributes to a better final product structure. In aquaristics, it is used to increase calcium levels, especially in marine aquariums to support coral growth. It is also applied in water treatment to adjust water hardness or support chemical processes. Furthermore, it is used in technical areas such as dehumidification due to its hygroscopic nature, effectively binding moisture from the surrounding air.

Uses

• Food Processing:
Strengthens the cell structure of fruits, vegetables, and cheese to prevent them from becoming soft during processing or storage.
• Cheese Making:
Helps milk coagulate when natural calcium content is low, improving cheese quality and firmness.
• Aquaristics:
Specifically increases calcium levels in water, which is important for coral growth and stable water conditions in marine aquariums.
• Water Treatment:
Used to adjust water hardness by controlling calcium concentration in process or drinking water.
• Dehumidification:
Draws moisture from the air and is used in granular form as a power-free dehumidifier in basements, cars, or closets.
