calcium carbonate
  • Calcium carbonate, also known as chalk or limestone, is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support bone health, but it also has various culinary uses:
  • Baking: Calcium carbonate is used as a food additive to adjust the acidity of baking ingredients. It can be used to replace cream of tartar, which is often used in baking recipes to stabilize whipped egg whites or prevent sugar from crystallizing.
  • Brewing: Calcium carbonate can be added to water used in beer brewing to adjust the pH and mineral content of the water. This can help improve the flavor and clarity of the beer.
  • Pickling: Calcium carbonate can be added to pickling brine to help prevent the pickles from becoming too soft. It can also help maintain the crispness of vegetables and fruits.
  • Cheese-making: Calcium carbonate is commonly used in cheese-making to help coagulate milk proteins and form curds. It can also help improve the texture and flavor of cheese.
  • Noodle-making: Calcium carbonate is added to noodle dough to improve its texture and elasticity. It can help make the noodles more tender and chewy.
  • Candy-making: Calcium carbonate can be used as a polishing agent in candy-making to give candy a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Chocolate-making: Calcium carbonate is sometimes used in chocolate-making to help improve the texture and mouthfeel of the chocolate.
  • Tomato sauce: Calcium carbonate can be added to tomato sauce to help reduce its acidity and improve its flavor. It can also help prevent the sauce from separating or becoming too watery.
