Food Additive Uses

Calcium acetate is used in the food industry as an additive (E263) for several purposes:

Preservative: It helps inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi, extending the shelf life of various food products, particularly baked goods and some dairy products.

Firming Agent: In canned fruits and vegetables, it helps maintain firmness and texture, preventing them from becoming mushy during processing and storage.

Acidity Regulator/pH Control Agent: It can be used to stabilize pH levels in food products, ensuring consistent taste and quality.

Stabilizer and Thickener: It can act as a stabilizer, particularly in dairy products, to prevent separation or deterioration.

Nutrient Supplement/Calcium Fortifier: As a source of calcium, it can be added to foods to increase their calcium content, particularly in products marketed as “high-calcium,” such as milk, bread, and biscuits.

Flavor Enhancer/Adjuvant: It can contribute to the taste and flavor profile of certain foods.
