B22 Calcium Propionate – Preservatives
Calci-K®
Common foods and beverages typically reduce the absorbability of added calcium. The absorption of Calci-K® is unique, as research results found that the absorption rate is not reduced when taken with milk.
Specifically designed to fortify liquid food products, Calci-K® blends calcium, potassium, and phosphorus molecules into an easily absorbed complex when taken with milk.
Also able to maintain complete dispersion in liquids at a pH between 3.5–8.0. No additional suspending agents are required.
Delivery Applications
- Infant Formulas
- Soy Based Products
- Products with Neutral pH
- Dairy and Imitation Dairy Products
- Liquids, Including Fresh Milk, Soy Milk, and Apple Juice
Activated Carbon
Characteristics of Activated Carbon
- High Surface Area: One of the key features of activated carbon is its extremely high surface area. The porous structure of activated carbon provides a large internal surface area, typically ranging from 500 to 1500 square meters per gram. This extensive surface area allows for the adsorption of a wide range of substances.
- Adsorption Capacity: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, meaning it can attract and hold molecules onto its surface. This property is crucial for various applications, particularly in the purification of liquids and gases. The adsorption process is highly effective in removing impurities, contaminants, and odors.
- Pore Structure: The porous nature of activated carbon is characterized by a distribution of different pore sizes, including micropores, mesopores, and macropores. This diverse pore structure enhances its ability to adsorb a wide range of molecules with different sizes.
- Chemical Inertness: Activated carbon is chemically inert, making it stable and safe for use in various environments. It does not react with most chemicals, contributing to its suitability for applications where purity is crucial.
- Regenerability: In many cases, activated carbon can be regenerated and reused after reaching its adsorption capacity. The regeneration process involves heating the spent activated carbon to release or decompose the adsorbed substances, restoring its adsorption capabilities.
Uses of Activated Carbon
- Water Treatment: Activated carbon is extensively used in water treatment processes to remove impurities, organic contaminants, and pollutants. It effectively adsorbs chlorine, disinfection by-products, pesticides, and other organic compounds, enhancing the quality of drinking water.
- Air Purification: Activated carbon is employed in air purification systems to eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and airborne contaminants. It is commonly found in air filters for homes, cars, and industrial facilities.
- Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications: Activated carbon is used in medical settings to treat poisoning and drug overdoses. It can adsorb toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing their absorption into the bloodstream. Additionally, it is used in gas masks to filter out harmful chemicals.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Activated carbon plays a crucial role in the food and beverage industry for decolorization, deodorization, and removal of contaminants. It is commonly used in the production of sugar, edible oils, and alcoholic beverages.
- Environmental Remediation: Activated carbon is employed in environmental remediation efforts to treat soil and groundwater contaminated with pollutants. It can adsorb heavy metals, organic chemicals, and other contaminants, mitigating their impact on the environment.
- Gold Recovery: In the mining industry, activated carbon is utilized for gold recovery through a process called carbon-in-pulp (CIP). The porous structure of activated carbon adsorbs gold from cyanide solutions, facilitating the extraction of gold from ore.
- Gas Purification: Activated carbon is used to purify gases by adsorbing impurities, such as sulfur compounds, volatile organic compounds, and other contaminants. This is crucial in industrial processes and gas-phase applications.
Definition
Activated Carbon is a porous adsorbent material presenting a large interior surface area in a range of 600 to 1,500 m2/g which allows the adsorption of a great number of substances from gaseous or liquid phases.
Activated Carbon and its Application – Raw material
- Coal
- Lignite
- Wood
- Coconut shells
- Fruit stones (e.g. Olive core)
- Peat
- Polymeres
- Others
Characteristic of activated carbon
Not all pores are equivalent:
- some pores allow good molecule transport
- some pores offer “parking” places for the adsorptive

Hydration – Performance – Recovery
As essential minerals like Potassium, Magnesium and Sodium, they are necessary for water to stay in the body’s cells and tissues maintaining fluid balance, supporting muscle function, and ensuring optimal nerve activity. With growing awareness of their importance in sports nutrition, the demand for electrolyte-based products is skyrocketing, particularly in fitness drinks, supplements, energy bars, and nutritional gummies.
Market Trends for Electrolytes
Consumer interest in electrolytes is rising – driven by a growing focus on hydration and health.
Hydration is increasingly viewed as a wellness priority rather than just a basic physiological need.&bsp; This shift is clearly reflected in product innovation and marketing. According to Mintel’s most recentanalysis, the share of global beverage launches featuring hydration claims has nearly doubled over the past five years. Specifically, hydration claims appeared on 12.6 % of launches in 2020, rose to 22.4 % in 2024, and remained significant at 19.2 % by mid-2025.
Healthy everyday hydration will draw focus to electrolytes other than sodium.
Conventional electrolyte products are designed for people who have lost significant amounts of body fluids, such as after a dehydrating illness or a period of intense exercise. As ‘extra’ sodium is unlikely required for everyday hydration, producers can focus on ‘healthier’ electrolytes like potassium or magnesium, while promoting low-sodium products.
Europe heavily favours Magnesium in electrolyte launches
While Potassium is the most commonly featured ingredient in new electrolyte products, Chloride is rarely highlighted as a main ingredient in electrolyte products.

Importance for the athletically-active body
The formation of sweat varies depending on the intensity of the sporting activity and the ambient temperature. Physical activity increases the loss as well as the requirement of many mineral substances. On average, 10–30 mg of magnesium and 250–400 mg of potassium are eliminated per liter of sweat. For this reason, a sufficient supply of potassium and magnesium of the body is essential. This is of particular importance for intensive activities such as power training and endurance training like spinning, running or rapid cycling, as well as for long-duration activities such as bicycle, canoe and hiking tours or even trekking tours.
By far the most important physiological process during athletic activity is the supply of muscles with nutrients. During long-duration activities, the energy requirement of the body rises considerably so that the body’s own resources are quickly depleted (glucose, glycogen). Even an hour of training can use up to 30% of the normal daily energy requirement⁴.
Along with providing the body with sufficient energy-supplying foods, it is also important that the optimal metabolization of the ingested carbohydrates is ensured.
