Calcium acetate (E263) is the calcium salt of acetic acid. As a calcium acetate food grade powder supplier and wholesale calcium acetate anhydrous manufacturer, we see growing demand from bakeries and meat processors looking for a mild preservative that also contributes calcium.

How it works

In bread and cakes, acetate ions inhibit mould and rope-forming Bacillus bacteria. Calcium acetate also acts as a buffer and firming agent, improves pectin gelling and helps stabilize texture in processed meat and tofu.

Quality checklist

  • Assay 98.0-102.0% (GB 1903.15) or 99.0-100.5% (USP)
  • Water ≤7.0% for the anhydrous grade
  • Low sulfate, chloride, lead and arsenic
  • Free-flowing powder that disperses evenly in flour

Packaging and storage

Calcium acetate is hygroscopic. It is packed in 25 kg composite bags with PE liners and should be stored dry and sealed.
