A calcium salt in liquid form used in food production.
A closer look at the productLiquid Calcium Chloride (E509)
Liquid Calcium Chloride (E509)
at a glance.
Calcium chloride (E509) is a salt that supplies calcium ions and can affect the structure of a food during processing. We supply it in liquid form in IBC tanks; the liquid form makes dosing and uniform distribution easier in industrial applications.
In dairy and other food processes, calcium balance influences the structural behaviour of the final product. For liquid products, concentration, purity and the dosing plan are the main points of technical evaluation.

Use in industryWhere and how
Where and how
can it add value?
Food process control
Evaluated as a source of calcium ions in applications permitted by the recipe and legislation.
Liquid dosing systems
The compatibility of the product's concentration with the plant equipment should be checked.
Cheese technology
Calcium chloride may be used at appropriate doses to support the coagulation behaviour of heat-treated milk in cheesemaking.
Canned fruit and vegetables
Used as a firming agent to preserve texture, within the applicable legal limits.
Beverage processes
Used in beverage applications for mineral adjustment and as a calcium source.
Premixes and solutions
The dosability of the liquid form is evaluated together with concentration and equipment compatibility.
Technical evaluationChoosing the right product
Choosing the right product
starts with the right questions.
In product selection, we consider not only the name or area of use, but also your production conditions and specification requirements.

Equipment compatibility and storage conditions
Is E509 used in the same quantity in every food?
No; the appropriate usage level depends on the product category and the applicable legislation.
What information is needed for the liquid form?
Concentration, purity grade, permitted area of use and packaging material are the main points of technical evaluation.
Are food grade and technical grade equivalent?
No. They must be verified separately in terms of intended use, legislation and product specification.
