So, what is calcium acetate?
Calcium acetate is a food ingredient that is derived from calcium carbonate and acetic acid. It is commonly used as a food preservative, a stabilizer, and a thickening agent. Calcium acetate is odorless and has a slightly bitter taste. It is soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol. This ingredient is often used in dairy products, as it helps prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause spoilage. Additionally, calcium acetate is also used in baking and as a dietary supplement, as it is a good source of calcium.
