Calcium Lactate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- E327
- Lactic Acid Calcium Salt
- Calcium 2-Hydroxypropanoate
Calcium lactate supplier for fortification, bakery, pharmaceutical and feed premix use in Malaysia. Also listed as E327, it is a soluble organic calcium salt chosen where calcium carbonate would be too insoluble or would raise pH too far.
Commercial powder is commonly supplied as the pentahydrate for general food work, with anhydrous or low-hydrate options when residual water would shift assay. Food, pharma and feed grades are selected against the finished-product standard.
Dairy alternatives, bakery and beverage fortification use food-grade calcium lactate for clean calcium delivery. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical makers request suitable purity for tablets and sachets. Animal-feed premixes use feed-grade material where calcium supplementation is specified.
Send the hydrate form, grade, quantity and delivery location with your calcium lactate enquiry. Availability and packing for the quoted lot are confirmed with the quotation.
- Formula
- C6H10CaO6

We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade calcium lactate (E327) | white crystalline powder or granules | — | Calcium fortification, firming and formulation work in food and beverage systems where a food-additive identity is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Calcium lactate pentahydrate | white crystalline powder | — | Standard commercial hydrate for fortification, premixes and many food or nutraceutical blends where the pentahydrate form is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Pharmaceutical or nutraceutical grade calcium lactate | fine white crystalline powder | — | Tablets, capsules, sachets, mineral premixes and other formulated products matched to a stated monograph or buyer specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed grade calcium lactate | crystalline powder or granules | — | Mineral fortification in animal-feed blends and premixes where a feed-grade calcium source is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Anhydrous calcium lactate | white crystalline powder | — | Dry blends and moisture-sensitive formulations where crystal water from a hydrate would affect assay or shelf life. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about calcium lactate
What is calcium lactate and is it the same as E327?
Calcium lactate is the calcium salt of lactic acid, also called lactic acid calcium salt or calcium 2-hydroxypropanoate. Food-grade material is coded E327. State the grade and hydration form in the enquiry, because food, pharmaceutical, feed, pentahydrate and anhydrous options differ.
Should I request pentahydrate or anhydrous calcium lactate?
Pentahydrate is the usual commercial form for many food, fortification and nutraceutical uses. Anhydrous material is preferred in dry blends or moisture-sensitive work where crystal water would change assay on a wet basis. Send the form stated on your specification if you already have one.
Is calcium lactate the same as calcium gluconate or calcium chloride?
No. Calcium gluconate, calcium lactate gluconate and calcium chloride are different calcium salts with different solubility, taste and formulation behaviour. Request those products separately if they are the materials required.
Which grade should a food or beverage buyer request?
Food grade E327 is typical for fortification, firming and formulation in beverages and processed foods. Provide the application, any assay or impurity limits and documentation needs so the quoted grade can be matched to the process.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State hydration form, grade, assay or monograph where relevant, quantity, application and delivery location. Include limits for moisture, heavy metals, microbiology or particle size when fixed by your process so the quotation can be matched more closely.
What packing and documents can be requested?
List the preferred pack format and the product documents your quality system needs. Available packing, specification sheets and other documentation for the quoted grade are confirmed with the quotation.
How is calcium lactate priced?
Price depends on form, grade, specification, quantity, packing and delivery requirement. Send those details for a current quotation with a stated validity period.
