What is food additive E509 - calcium chloride?

Food additive E509 or calcium chloride is the calcium salt of hydrochloric acid used in anhydrous or hydrated forms. Calcium chloride dissolves well in water, ethanol. A solution of calcium chloride has a specific bitter-salty taste, a barely perceptible smell.

For the production of food additive E509, calcium chloride production technology is used, based on the slaking of natural limestone with hydrochloric acid. For use in the construction, food, pharmaceutical industries; aviation, in some other industries this substance is obtained on a large scale by different methods

In the food industry, the E509 additive is used as a sealant, carrier, hardener, which contributes to the formation of the structure of products.

Calcium chloride, E509 - effect on the body, harm or benefit?

Calcium chloride is well absorbed in the stomach, large amounts (more than 350 mg per day) can cause irritation of the gastric mucosa. Calcium ions, which are part of the E509 additive, are actively included in mineral metabolism; participate in the formation of bone tissue, the work of the thyroid gland; contribute to increased blood clotting. Chlorine ions are "native" to the body. Dilute hydrochloric acid is the main component of gastric juice.

Calcium chloride is a harmless salt when taken in moderation. Previously, the solution was prescribed even to young children in the treatment of diathesis. E509 is now used as an injection for many pathological conditions in adults. In cosmetology, it is used for deep cleansing of the skin.

Calcium chloride has a specific taste, so it is used in minimal concentrations. The maximum allowable content is not regulated by regulatory documents, since if the quantity is exceeded, the organoleptic characteristics of the food product will suffer and it will be spoiled.

Dietary supplement calcium chloride - use in food

Most often, the E509 additive is used in the production of cottage cheese, cheeses and milk powder. Calcium chloride is added as a filler to dry products: milk, mixtures to improve subsequent dissolution, prevent clumping, enrichment with minerals. In the production of fermented milk products, calcium chloride contributes to the rapid coagulation of milk, increases the efficiency of the process, improves the quality of cheeses, cheese, cottage cheese.

For example, in order for milk to curdle and turn into cottage cheese, it simply needs to be mixed with calcium chloride. At the same time, in the presence of additive E509, the amount of milk required to produce 1 kg of cottage cheese is reduced from 7 to 3 liters.

A unique element in our body, which is not absorbed in its pure form, but is very necessary for muscles and bones in general. Calcium needs to be supplemented with compounds so that it can benefit the body. The optimal combination was calcium chloride, which has recently begun to replace the vitamin complex for some people.

Calcium chloride - application

The use of calcium chloride - it is common in almost all medical and cosmetic fields. If there is a lack of calcium in the body, the doctor may prescribe it to make up for the deficiency of the substance. Fragile bones can be damaged at the slightest load, and this component also strengthens muscle fibers. It is considered an integral part in the work of the cardiovascular system. Also used for:

• Stop bleeding;
• Stops allergic reactions;
• cough prevention;
• Recovery of the body after poisoning with magnesium and potassium salts;
• Treatment of colds and inflammatory diseases.

It helps women in gynecological diseases - it increases labor activity, stimulates the organs of the uterus to expel the fetus. Often prescribed for pneumonia, hepatitis, is a diuretic. According to the method of reception:

• Intravenous;
• Ingestion;
• Intramuscular, by electrophoresis.

If a dropper is needed, the method of administration is established - drip or jet.

calcium chloride for allergies

For allergies, calcium chloride can be used as a neutralizer. The ions of the substance have hypocalcemia on the whole organism as a whole. As a result, vascular permeability increases, bleeding stops. If a person suffers from hypertension, allergic reactions to medications, he can be cured only with this solution without the use of strong antibiotics. This method of treatment is used in children's intensive care hospitals when a child suffers from intoxication after taking medications.

With the introduction of pure calcium chloride under the skin, tissue necrosis may occur in the place where the puncture was made. To avoid this, you should not self-medicate, it is better to entrust the process to qualified doctors. To neutralize the effect of the substance, the injection site is injected:

• Sodium sulfate 25%;
• 10 ml of sodium sulfate in the form of a drip solution;
• Diphenhydramine solution 1% intramuscularly, 1 ml.

Before using any antihistamine, a reaction test should be done. If the injection site is red after the injection of the substance, the person will be prescribed a similar solution that does not have synthetic bases.

Calcium chloride in cosmetology

Modern cosmetology has been using medications for a long time, and recently methods for correcting wrinkles with calcium have become popular. Proper use allows you to expand the spheres of influence of the substance:

• Rejuvenation;
• Cell nutrition;
• Skin restoration.

Procedures have become in demand and popular among middle-aged women. So recently, services have appeared in beauty salons for face and scalp care. Earlier they began to use calcium chloride in cosmetology for the treatment of hair follicles on the head.

Calcium chloride for the face

An inexpensive preparation for cleansing the skin of the face is very effective and has a positive effect on the condition of the dermis. Cleans pores, sebaceous glands from fats, dust and dead cells. Advantages:

• Repeated use of facial peeling;
• Cleansing clogged pores without causing injury to the top layer of the skin;
• Lightening of age spots;
• Drainage of abscesses;
• Neutralization of purulent deposits;
• Fast recovery after cleaning.

Since calcium chloride for the face is considered one of the aggressive components, it is used only in difficult situations when other simple and painless methods are ineffective.

So, women manage to get rid of scars and stretch marks on the skin, when no cosmetic correction device is able to cope with this task. After acne, scars often remain, which can only be removed with this drug. But there is another side of the coin, which, in principle, does not force women to refuse the sacrifice of beauty:

• The upper layer of the dermis becomes thinner;
• Dry skin becomes tighter;
• The integrity of the epidermis is broken.

But because of the strong post-peeling effect, women do not refuse to make such sacrifices. In addition, positive changes are noted - smooth skin, clean pores and a healthy complexion. At home, a solution of calcium chloride is mixed with water, wiping the skin with a cotton pad. Then a mask with a moisturizing effect is applied. In beauty salons, a laser device is used to clean the dermis, since it can be difficult to get to the middle layer of the skin. We recommend doing chemical peeling no more than once a year, otherwise the top layer will simply disappear from frequent use. This will lead to unbearable pain when touching the skin.

Calcium chloride for bronchitis

Calcium chloride in bronchitis helps only in the fight against dry cough. Direct appointment - only with Quincke (pulmonary edema and the impossibility of deep breathing), but this does not mean that it can be drunk with ARVI or a cold. Expectorants have a much better effect on sputum and alveoli. Calcium chloride may aggravate a wet cough by preventing sputum production. Chronic bronchitis is not a reason to take the substance on your own, but the doctor will prescribe, rather time, other medicines.

Calcium chloride cough for children

Calcium chloride for coughing for children can be prescribed only during the period of growth - the transitional age of 10-14 years. As the child develops, the child's body needs active nourishment - calcium and potassium in the body are quickly consumed, and simple vitamin tablets do not always have time to be absorbed. So during an illness or a cold, children under 12 years of age are prescribed 1 ml of a solution in combination with vitamin D.

In preventive areas, children are prescribed it before vaccinations to facilitate the reaction and tolerance of the introduced substances. If the baby suffers from spring asthma during the flowering of plants, this is an indispensable component in the child's body. Prevents suffocation, reduces spasms of the larynx and lungs. Children from 12 years of age are prescribed in the form of solutions.

calcium chloride for bleeding

To stop bleeding, the most effective drug is calcium chloride. Compared to oxytocin and other agents, it reacts quickly, localizes the affected area and reduces the walls of blood vessels. Main line of action:

• Stopping uterine bleeding;
• Nasal;
• Pulmonary;
• Cardiovascular;
• Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract.

So a hemostatic agent, as a life-saving method for many women, began to be used in gynecology. Calcium chloride during bleeding saturates the walls of blood vessels and blood with ions, which cause inhibition of blood circulation. If on the way to a medical facility there is no chance to save a woman, they inject a portion (6 ml) of the substance, which allows them to “hold out” to the emergency room.

In some cases, the drug thins the blood, as in the case of hemophilia. The bleeding does not stop, on the contrary, it intensifies. This is necessary for the reaction with the X chromosome. The patient is "cleared" of infections and pathological processes, after which he prepares for the transfusion of blood components.

Is it possible to drink calcium chloride in ampoules?

You can take the substance orally only with mild allergies. A single dose should not exceed a volume of 1.5 ml (st.l. of the substance). If the medicine is intended for dilution of injections, ingestion in a diluted form is allowed. Is it possible to drink calcium chloride in ampoules - yes, but only until numbness appears with the outstretched left arm.

To prevent contraction of muscles and skin, moisten your fingers in soapy water and rub the affected area with massage movements. Reapply with doctor's permission.

To whom is calcium chloride contraindicated?

Calcium chloride has a number of contraindications, and its compatibility with other medicinal substances should also be taken into account. The wrong dose and combination with any components can lead to an allergic reaction that cannot be eliminated by a simple injection. Pay special attention to compounds that have phosphorus. These are incompatible substances, the intake of which leads to numbness, allergies, nausea and vomiting. Complete cleansing of the body - inpatient treatment for 5-6 weeks to prevent relapses.

Individual intolerance is expressed:

• The appearance of arrhythmia after taking the drug;
• Frequent contraction of the ventricles of the heart;
• Chilliness all over the body;
• Slow heart rate;
• heartburn;
• Vertigo.

To whom calcium chloride is contraindicated - persons suffering from atherosclerosis. They have high levels of calcium in their blood. This leads to thrombosis.

Additive E509

Calcium chloride is also used in the food industry as additive E509. The serial number of the substance determines the ratio of the component to emulsifiers. It is necessary for the production of dairy products. Acts as a natural thickener, used instead of harmful preservatives and stabilizers. It is also widely used in the manufacture of:

• jam;
• Jams;
• Preservation of fruits and vegetables.

In moderate doses, it is absolutely harmless to adults and children. However, many parents consider such an additive dangerous. Like it or not, we will consider the question further.

E509: food additive - dangerous or not?

As an additive, the substance is a colorless crystal that retains moisture inside canned jars and packages. Do not confuse the substance with stabilizers, which deliberately increase the shelf life of the product. If you have seen milk with a shelf life of 6-9 months, be aware that dangerous substances are contained inside.

E509: food additive - dangerous or not, as an integral component?

It is only needed to maintain consistency. CaCl 2 is a calcium ion that binds proteins, allowing them to be preserved in the form in which they were placed in the container. Often it is added instead to marmalade, so that the taste is pleasant without a hint of “chewing gum”. Jelly - do not have such additives. In his presence, be sure to:

1. During pasteurization of milk, some of the calcium is lost. To make up for it, natural ingredients are added.
2. E is just a designation of groups of additives. It is stereotypical to think that they are all a hell of a mixture of chemistry. It's just a convenient use of all the ingredients from the field of food production.
3. Chocolate can also contain calcium - therefore, children are not given it until 3 years old, and adults are recommended for the active work of brain cells.
4. Sometimes, when excess water needs to be removed in brewing, calcium chloride is added. It absorbs moisture like in other products. However, solid food hardens, and beer is not spoiled by excess moisture. The taste remains as it was intended before production.

In Russia, E509 is strictly regulated. In Europe, it is considered safe and is sold in stores to be added to products. The daily dose should not exceed 340 g or ml in liquid form.

Another interesting thing is that calcium chloride is still useful in other areas of human activity:

• Chemical laboratory - for cleaning bottles without the use of strong reagents;
• In medical chemistry - a reagent for studying blood tests;
• In production - for the manufacture of rubber and rubber, natural latex;
• For the manufacture of PVA glue and hard pencils;
• At CNG stations;
• For shaping calcium metal;
• In the manufacture of refrigeration chambers;
• When extracting gas - a means for safe transportation;
• When working in mines - to prevent the appearance of dust after cutting roads from gravel;
• In some drugs.

As you can see, calcium chloride is used in almost all areas where the human foot steps. This is a good natural ingredient that, together with food, nourishes the body, treats coughs and eliminates allergic consequences without surgical interventions. It saves the lives of women, eliminates the causes of bleeding, and easily restores strength to patients. It is an important component in the formation of the skeleton in the womb, and without it, no person could endure the birth process without injury in the birth canal.

Calcium chloride is a dietary supplement whose benefits far outweigh the potential health risks. She received the status of safe after a series of studies, and today the emulsifier and stabilizer under the code E509 is officially approved and approved for use in many industries, including food.

Description of the substance

Calcium chloride, or additive E509, has the form of crystals that can be completely colorless or somewhat whitish. Its chemical and physical characteristics will be as follows:

• we will well dissolve in water and ethyl alcohol;
• hygroscopic properties are high;
• the melting of the substance occurs at a temperature of 772°C;
• the boiling point is 1935°C.

Chemical formula - CaCl 2.

Application

The use of calcium chloride in Russia is regulated. In the countries of the European Union, this additive was also recognized as safe and officially approved for use in the manufacture of medicines and some products.

food industry

Calcium chloride food can be found on the labels of food products such as:

• cheeses;
• powdered milk;
• cottage cheese;
• cream;
• condensed milk;
• marmalade;
• jelly;
• canned vegetables;
• canned fruits;
• caviar;
• vegetable and fruit juices;
• chocolate;
• dry mashed potatoes;
• beer.

On a note! The list of products that include calcium chloride is quite large, but most often it is added to dairy and sour-milk products, such as cottage cheese, cheeses, cream, both dry and drinking, as well as pasteurized milk!

The purpose of the additive E509 may be different.

1. In the manufacture of milk powder, it acts as a thickening agent, since calcium ions contribute to the binding of proteins. In dairy products, it compensates for the percentage of calcium. This substance contributes to the normal duration of milk coagulation during its pasteurization, and also significantly improves the quality of the clot.
2. A solution of calcium chloride is added to cream before pasteurization, as it helps to reduce their acidity, which is necessary for further processing them into butter. After this procedure, the milk is removed and acidified. The collected casein is separated and used for other purposes.
3. When preserving vegetables and fruits, this component prevents their softening. It also helps to bring the product to the desired taste, making it salty to the required degree.
4. In the production of chocolate, a substance under the index E509 is added to prevent its hardening.
5. In brewing, it is used to make up for the lack of water, as well as to normalize the acidity of the mash.
6. This component can act as a stabilizer, for example, in the manufacture of marmalade.
7. Why is calcium chloride added to cottage cheese? In this case, it contributes to better coagulability of milk.

Other industries

Such a food emulsifier as calcium chloride is able to benefit the human body and, in this regard, it is quite intensively used not only in the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical industry. It is included in the composition of medicines, the action of which is aimed at preventing bleeding and antiallergic drugs.

In addition, the additive under the code E509 is used:

• in the production of rubber and products from it;
• in the role of a reagent in the conduct of research analyses;
• in the manufacture of glue;
• in order to obtain lactic acid;
• in the production of goods from rubber and latex;
• at automobile gas filling compressor stations;
• in the manufacture of metallic calcium;
