calcium acetate

Calcium acetate, purity ≥ 99%, made of acetic acid and calcium carbonate, widely used in food preservative and fertilizer fields.

➡️ In the field of food preservation⬅️

❗ calcium acetate dissolves in water and releases trace acetic acid, which can reduce the pH value of the food surface and destroy the living environment of mold and bacteria.

❗ In addition, it can not only protect against corrosion, but also act as a calcium nutrient booster. Adding calcium acetate to bread, for example, both extends shelf life and provides 10 percent more calcium per slice.

➡️ In the field of fertilizer ⬅️

❗ calcium acetate is water-soluble, and it can quickly transport calcium ions through irrigation systems, but it will not be lost as calcium nitrate is dissolved too quickly.

❗ At the same time it neutralizes soil acidity. In acidic soils with a pH less than 5.5, the calcium ions of calcium acetate displace the root-toxic aluminium ions (Al³ +), while the acetic acid released is broken down by microorganisms, progressively neutralizing the acidity.

❗ The most important is that the nitrate in traditional calcium nitrate is easy to leach to groundwater, resulting in eutrophication; The degradation products of calcium acetate are carbon dioxide and water, which is harmless to the environment.
