Fruits & Vegetables
Calcium chloride plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables. As a trusted supplier from Europe, Pure Health & Earth provides high-quality CaCl₂, which prevents texture degradation, inhibits spoilage, and reduces wilting in post-harvest treatments.
Benefits
By maintaining firmness, calcium chloride ensures fresh produce lasts longer, preserving quality during storage and transport. In pickling, calcium chloride helps maintain the firmness and crispness of vegetables like gherkins without compromising flavor, making it ideal for health-conscious consumers seeking lower-sodium options. Additionally, CaCl₂ acts as a firming agent in canned vegetables, ensuring they retain their texture during storage.
The versatility of calcium chloride extends to various vegetables and legumes, including beans, where it helps preserve structure and prolong shelf life. Post-harvest treatments such as dipping or vacuum impregnation improve calcium chloride absorption, enhancing both texture and nutritional quality. Pure Health & Earth’s CaCl₂ provides an effective, reliable solution for these applications.
