Yolimex Calcium Carbonate Powder - 25kg

Usage Instruction:

There is an increasingly popular concept in the modern culinary and food preparation world that “cooking is a science as much as an art”. Indeed, cooking in its simplest forms are still a complex operation of chemicals and physics principles, from heat to cold, from moisture to hardening. As such, a good understanding of the scientific principles at hand can ensure even better results on the stove or in the vat.

Therefore, one compound that you may find to have an unexpected set of uses in the kitchen is in fact calcium carbonate, a mineral that often appears in solid form (where it is recognized in forms such as limestone, marble, or coral), as well as ground down into a powder resembling chalk. In fact, it can even be found as a natural part of organic life, such as within eggshells or snail shells.

But what’s the benefit of calcium carbonate that makes it so useful in the kitchen? Simple: it is a base substance with pH values that range from 6.5-10, making it very effective for neutralizing acids in many forms, leading to its medical use as an antacid. Naturally, it follows that excessively acidic flavors like those present in certain curries, or in citric fruit juices, can be relieved through judicious use of the commonly-available calcium carbonate.

Whether you’re cooking at an industrial or small scale, the clever use of natural ingredients with a good scientific understanding can help you bring out the best of your ingredients.

It is with this that Yolimex Sdn. Bhd. offers you fine, high quality calcium carbonate shipped straight to your premises at an affordable price, allowing you to fine-tune your cooking!

Stored properly, calcium carbonate will have a shelf life of around 12 months.

Overview of Calcium Carbonate:

A surprisingly abundant family of substances that occurs in nature with many forms and purposes, calcites such as calcium carbonate appear in shells and skeletons of living organisms as much as on the stone walls of caves. 

With the chemical formula of CaCO3, the molecular structure of calcium carbonate allows it to easily react with acid molecules by receiving a single hydrogen atom from them, causing oxidization and soon neutralization.

Many of the applications of calcium carbonate are along the same lines: as a scourer in cleaning solutions, as an anti-caking agent in chemical emulsions, and even as a neutralizer of acid soil to allow planting of the food that we enjoy every day.

Of course, the dietary uses are not to be forgotten as well: when added as a supplement to the various foodstuffs we eat, calcium carbonate naturally grants us many benefits as well.

No matter what field you work in and what your exact needs are, Yolimex will expend every effort to give you the best samples of calcium carbonate for your purposes. Whether cooking or baking, or using it as a supplement, you can rest easy knowing you made the right decision.
