The result is a white, crystalline calcium salt found in various medicinal and food industry applications. Medicinally, the compound is used as an antacid, dietary calcium supplement and as a component of several mouthwash products. Food industry applications of calcium lactate include raising agents in the baking industry and shelf life enhancer for fruits. Calcium lactate dietary supplements should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor because excessive calcium intakes may impair certain biological functions and even cause severe allergic reactions in rare cases. 收起 | |

It is a sugar substitute that is 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than regular table sugar. Like other artificial sweeteners, only a small amount of the substance is needed to be an effective flavor enhancer. In fact, this is what makes neotame of great interest to manufacturers of food products, since it is considerably less expensive to use as a sweetener than refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup. In addition to use as a table sweetener, neotame has been approved for use in various processed foods, including pudding and gelatin mixes, canned fruits, fruit juices, jams, jellies, and syrup. It may also be found in baked goods, frozen desserts, soft drinks and chewing gum. Typically, many of these products are labeled as being sugar-less or sugar-free. 收起 | |

Specifically, it is the crystalline salt of sorbic acid, also a food preservative. It is used to preserve such foods as cheese, wine, meats and dried fruits. It also helps inhibit the growth of yeast and mold in some herbal supplements and many cosmetic and personal care items, extending shelf life. Having a toxicity level comparable to table salt, it is generally considered safe for consumption; side effects are very rare but may include mild allergic reactions or nausea. 收起 |
