Calcium carbonate Food Grade E 170
Calcium carbonate is one of the most widespread compounds on earth. It is a fine, white powder that we offer in food grade (E 170). The compound is versatile and can be used as an acidity regulator, anti-caking agent, stabiliser, filler, or colourant. Calcium carbonate practically insoluble in water and in alcohol.
In the food industry, calcium carbonate is used as a food additive. It serves as an acidity regulator, pigment for colour and is used to add calcium to food. It is used in baked goods, beverages, sweets, as a pigment in toothpaste and as an anti-caking agent in spices. Calcium carbonate can also be used as a food preservative and colour preserver, e.g. for organic apples. Calcium carbonate is also used as a firming agent in preserves. It is contained in table salt as a trickling aid. E 170 is one of the few additives that are also permitted in organic food (EU Regulation 2021/1165). Calcium carbonate is used in some medicines and food supplements to increase the calcium content and as an excipient for tablet production. Calcium carbonate is also used in the cosmetics industry.
