Optimizing Calcium Enrichment, Texture, and Stability in Food & Beverage Applications
-
Essential for bone health & nutrition: GCC provides a highly absorbable form of calcium, critical for fortified dairy products, plant-based milk, cereals, and supplements.
-
Controlled release for functional foods: Ensures gradual calcium delivery in nutraceuticals and functional beverages.
-
1 to 3 μm GCC grades ensure maximum bioavailability without affecting mouthfeel.
-
Neutralizes acidity in beverages & dairy: Acts as a natural pH buffer in soft drinks, fruit juices, and dairy formulations, improving shelf life.
-
Prevents over-acidification: Enhances taste stability in acidic food systems such as sauces and dressings.
-
2–5 μm ensure precise acid-neutralizing properties.
-
Prevents moisture absorption in powders: Ensures smooth flow and prevents clumping in baking powders, spice blends, and powdered supplements.
-
Improves handling in industrial processing: Used in sugar, flour, and salt to maintain consistent particle distribution.
-
Best GCC grades: 5–10 μm ensuring optimized flow characteristics in dry food processing.
-
Enhances creaminess in dairy & alternative milks: Improves mouthfeel and viscosity in yogurts, cream-based sauces, and plant-based drinks.
-
Stabilizes emulsions in processed foods: Prevents phase separation in dressings, sauces, and dairy-based formulations.
-
Best GCC Grades: 1–2 μm, ensuring consistent texture and uniform dispersion.
Applications of GCC in Food & Beverages
-
Used in milk alternatives, yogurts, and nutritional beverages to enhance calcium content.
-
Ensures high bioavailability while maintaining product stability and sensory quality.
-
Best GCC Grades: 1–3 μm, as these ensure fine dispersion and effective fortification.
-
Controls acidity in fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and dairy products for longer shelf life.
-
Enhances flavor stability by balancing pH fluctuations.
-
Best GCC Grades: 2–5 μm, as they provide optimal acid-neutralizing capability.
-
Prevents clumping in spice mixes, powdered sugar, and protein supplements.
-
Improves handling and flowability in industrial food production.
-
Best GCC Grades: 5–10 μm, as they maintain optimal particle dispersion and flow properties
-
Enhances smoothness in dairy products, spreads, and plant-based alternatives.
-
Stabilizes emulsions and prevents phase separation in dressings and sauces.
-
Best GCC Grades: 1–2 μm, as they ensure homogeneous structure and controlled viscosity.
-
Acts as a natural dough conditioner in baked goods for improved texture.
-
Enhances crispness and uniformity in biscuits and confectionery.
-
Best GCC Grades: 2–5 μm, as they provide optimal integration into flour-based systems.
