Description

Calcium Fumarate is the calcium salt of fumaric acid, a key organic acid widely used as a food additive and nutritional supplement. This compound is valued for its role as a leavening agent, pH regulator, and a source of bioavailable calcium. It is essential for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries seeking a stable, non-hygroscopic acidulant with nutritional benefits. Our supply of Calcium Fumarate CAS NO 3416-22-6 ensures consistent quality and reliable global delivery.

Application

• Food & Beverage Additive: Primarily used as a leavening agent in baked goods (e.g., cakes, cookies) and as an acidulant to impart tartness and regulate pH in beverages, gelatin desserts, and fruit juices.
• Dietary & Nutritional Supplements: Serves as a source of bioavailable calcium and fumarate in tablet and capsule formulations for bone health and mineral fortification.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Utilized as a tablet disintegrant or a buffering agent in various solid dosage forms.
• Animal Feed Supplement: Incorporated into premixes and complete feeds as a nutritional calcium source for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Biodegradable Polymer Intermediate: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of polyesters and other biodegradable plastics.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Fumarate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. It can be produced to meet various standards, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and pharmaceutical-grade specifications where applicable. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and safety. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, heavy metals, and microbiological parameters is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking due to moisture absorption.
