Calcium Acetate BP Ph Eur USP FCC Food Grade Manufacturers

CAS Number 62-54-4 anhydrous & 5743-26-0 monohydrate, EINECS EC Number 200-540-9, Molecular Weight 158.17 anhydrous & 176.19 monohydrate, Molecular Formula: C4H6CaO4 anhydrous & C4H6CaO4.H2O monohydrate

Calcium Acetate is the salt of calcium and acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C2H3O2)2. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate (Ca(CH3COO)2•H2O, CAS [5743-26-0]) is the common form. It is used as a food additive, as a stabilizer, buffer and sequestrant, mainly in candy products. It is used in bread and other baked foods to prevent rope formation and to extend the shelf life.

They who love thee on this earth, keep calling on thee and chanting thy beads
Lest thou forgetest.

They assign the credit of their hard work to your blessings
They keep you amused.

They come to thy temple with baskets of fruits, as if you were a glutton
They deny the same to their children.

They offer you milk for a bath and burn the ghee
They hardly understand the meaning of it.

They bring gold and diamonds. They come with beating of drums
They love to advertise their offerings.

They offer you a small bribe as advance for booty, called lottery
They love to dream.

I do not bow down at your door
I do not bargain for booty
Your promise of the heaven does not lure me
Your hell-fire does not scare me
I do not even know the proper method of prayer
I do not offer any thing to you
Ages have gone by and I have not seen you my lord
Yet my love for you keeps waiting for you
