Citric Acid → Calcium

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an alternate mode, the sucrose can be deleted from the above preparation. Thus, a calcium citrate-malate solution is prepared by admixing 62 g calcium carbonate with 11 g citric acid and 44 g malic acid dissolved in 1,040 g water at ambient temperature. This solution can be used to prepare low calorie beverages, beverage concentrates or freeze-dried for use in solid supplements. The calcium is 53% of the solid when dried to anhydrous conditions. Each ml of this solution provides 50 mg of calcium on an elemental basis.
