Calcium Lactate

Product Description

Calcium lactate is a white crystalline salt with formula C6H10CaO6,consisting of two lactate anions H3C(CHOH)CO−2 for each calcium cation Ca2+.It forms several hydrates, the most common being the pentahydrate C6H10CaO6·5H2O.Calcium lactate can be prepared by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
