Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that magnesium carbonate is usually used as an anti-caking agent in calcium tablets. It can disperse and prevent the aggregation of ingredients in calcium tablets. Magnesium carbonate has low solubility in water, so during the production process of calcium tablets, it can be added to calcium tablets as an inert substance to prevent other ingredients from gathering together during processing or storage, thereby ensuring the quality of calcium tablets. Quality and stability. In addition, magnesium carbonate can also help calcium tablets be decomposed and absorbed faster in gastric acid, improving the bioavailability of calcium tablets.
The food additive magnesium carbonate can be used as a flour improver. In the formula of flour improver, food-grade magnesium carbonate is a very important raw material component. It can play a very important auxiliary role, greatly improve the fluidity and dispersion of flour improver, and act as an anti-caking and loosening agent. . Under normal circumstances, the amount of food additive magnesium carbonate added to flour can be between 10% and 15%, and good fluidity must be ensured. The content of magnesium oxide in the food additive magnesium carbonate is between 40% and 43%, the specific volume is between 1.4 and 2.5ml/g, and the water content is less than 1%. In addition, the food additive magnesium carbonate also plays a great role in other industries such as cosmetics, medicine, and food.
Food additive magnesium carbonate can also serve as an alkaline agent, desiccant, color-protecting agent, carrier, anti-caking agent, free-flowing agent, nutritional supplement, PH regulator, processing aid, and release agent. As one of the components of defoaming agent, magnesium carbonate can be used in wheat flour and protein solid drinks. At the same time, magnesium carbonate also plays a role as a food additive in sports drinks.
Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that in accordance with §184.1(b)(1), except for current good manufacturing practices, there are no restrictions on the use of the food additive magnesium carbonate in food. Can be used as an anticaking agent and free-flowing agent in §170.3(o)(1), a flour treatment agent in §170.3(o)(13), and a lubricant and release agent in §170.3(o)(18). , nutritional supplements in §170.3(o)(20), pH adjusters in §170.3(o)(23), processing aids in §170.3(o)(24), §170.3(o)(31 ) in the synergist. Dosage should not exceed current good manufacturing practice.
