Calcium chloride dihydrate has numerous uses,
Applications / Uses
Firming agent: Added to canned fruits and vegetables to maintain a crisp texture and prevent them from becoming soft during processing and storage.
Cheese production: Helps in the curd formation process when added to milk, leading to a more consistent and higher-quality cheese.
Pickling: Used in pickling brine to help maintain the firmness of pickles and can be used as a substitute for some sodium chloride.
Preservative: Can act as a preservative to extend the shelf life of various food products.
Molecular gastronomy: Essential for techniques like spherification, which creates spheres with a liquid center.
Electrolyte replacement: Used to treat conditions like hypocalcemia (low blood calcium) and to manage the effects of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).
Cardiac support: Included in cardioplegic solutions used during heart surgery to stop the heart.
Antidote: Utilized to counteract the effects of certain drug overdoses, such as calcium channel blocker or beta-blocker overdose.
Desiccant: Acts as a drying agent in packaging to protect pharmaceutical products from moisture, which can degrade their quality and stability.
