Light magnesium carbonate has diverse uses
Applications/uses
Anti-caking agent: Prevents powdered ingredients like spices, salt, and milk powder from clumping.
Acidity regulator: Helps control the pH level in food and beverages.
Nutritional enhancer: Added to products like energy drinks and fortified foods as a source of dietary magnesium.
Processing aid: Used in products like chewing gum and cheese to improve texture and shelf stability.
Edible oil purifier: In some food processing, it is used to remove impurities from oils.
Antacid: Neutralizes excess stomach acid to treat indigestion and gastritis.
Laxative: Functions as a mild laxative.
Tablet manufacturing: Acts as a lubricant and anti-adherent to ensure tablets don't stick to machinery during production.
Excipient: Used as a filler and binder in tablet formulations due to its low bulk density.
Moisture and odor absorbent: Prevents clumping in inhalation products, ensuring the even distribution of active ingredients.
