DFI-906429
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Appearance: | Tricalcium citrate is a white, odourless, crystalline powder or fine powder |
| Applications: | Due to it's functional properties and health benefits, tricalcium citrate is widely used as a calcium source in foodstuffs, nutritional supplements, dietary products and pharmaceutical applications |
| CAS No.: | 5785-44-4 |
| Characteristic: | It is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in diluted hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In contrary to other salts, TCC is better soluble at lower temperatures (so- called "inverse solubility"). It is practically insoluble in alcohol During heat treatment, it is less reactive than other calcium salts due to its inverse solubility. With regard to its superior physiological compatibility as well as significantly better bioavailability, TCC is preferred over inorganic calcium sources such as calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate |

| Formula: | (C6H5O7)2Ca3. 4 H2O |
| General Information: | The most commonly used calcium salt of citric acid is tricalcium dicitrate tetrahydrate, hereinafter rererred to as a tricalcium citrate (TCC). In some countries such as USA, TCC is simply denominated calcium citrate. It is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity calcium source such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. With it's high calcium content of 21%, tricalcium citrate is the most economic calcium salt among the commonly used organic calcium salts |
