Calcium Carbonate FCC Food Grade Specifications
CaCO3 Formula wt 100.09
CAS: [471-34-1]
DESCRIPTION
Calcium Carbonate occurs as a fine, white or colorless, microcrystalline powder. It is stable in air, and it is practically insoluble in water and in alcohol. The presence of any ammonium salt or carbon dioxide increases its solubility in water, but the presence of any alkali hydroxide reduces the solubility.
Function: pH control agent; nutrient; dough conditioner; firming agent; yeast nutrient.
REQUIREMENTS
Identification: A sample dissolves, with effervescence, in 1 N acetic acid, in 2.7 N hydrochloric acid, and in 1.7 N nitric acid, and the resulting solutions, after boiling, give positive tests for Calcium.
Assay: Not less than 98.0% and not more than 100.5% of CaCO3 after drying.
Acid-Insoluble Substances: Not more than 0.2%.
Arsenic: Not more than 3 mg/kg.
Fluoride: Not more than 0.005%.
Lead: Not more than 3 mg/kg.
Loss on Drying: Not more than 2%.
Magnesium and Alkali Salts: Not more than 1%.
Calcium Carbonate USP Grade Specifications
CaCO3 100.09
Carbonic acid, calcium salt (1:1)
Calcium Carbonate, dried at 200 for 4 hours, contains calcium equivalent to not less than 98.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of CaCO3.
Identification: The addition of acetic acid to it produces effervescence (presence of carbonate), and the resulting solution, after boiling, responds to the tests for Calcium.
Loss on drying: Dry it at 200 for 4 hours: it loses not more than 2.0% of its weight.
Acid-insoluble substances: Mix 5.0 g with 10 mL of water, and add hydrochloric acid, drop wise, with agitation, until it ceases to cause effervescence, then add water to make the mixture measure 200 mL, and filter. Wash the insoluble residue with water until the last washing shows no chloride, and ignite: the weight of the residue does not exceed 10 mg (0.2%).
Limit of fluoride: The limit is 0.005%.
Arsenic: The limit is 3 ppm.
Barium: A platinum wire, dipped in the filtrate obtained in the test for Acid-insoluble substances and held in a non-luminous flame, does not impart a green color.
Lead: the limit is 3 ppm.
Iron: To pass the test
Mercury: the limit is 0.5 µg per g.
Limit of magnesium and alkali salts: To pass the test.
Heavy metals: the limit is 0.002%.
Organic volatile impurities: meets the requirements.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 5.0 g in 80 ml of dilute acetic acid R . When the effervescence ceases, boil for 2min. Allow to cool, dilute to 100 ml with dilute acetic acid R and filter, if necessary, through a sintered-glass filter.: Substances insoluble in acetic acid: Maximum 0.2 per cent.
Chlorides : Maximum 330 ppm.
Sulphates : Maximum 0.25 per cent.
Arsenic: Maximum 4 ppm, determined on 5 ml of solution S.

Iron: Maximum 200 ppm.
Magnesium and alkali metals : Maximum 1.5 per cent.
Heavy metals: Maximum 20 ppm.

We also offer Coated and Directly Compressible Calcium Carbonate.
For ease of swallowing, the tablets should be made as small as possible. The high density of calcium carbonate allow the maximum antacid active to be packed in a small tablet. Calcium carbonates must be granulated before converting to tablets though they have poor compressibility, so are not directly compressible. Granulation involves mixing the calcium carbonate with some binder such as starch, acacia gum or maltodextrin, , usually at a 5 to 10 percent binder level and then agglomerating to a larger particle. All the logic is covered in our directly compressible calcium carbonate product.

Barter
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
