calcium butyrate powder Usage and Synthesis.

Calcium butyrate, also known as calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (CaHMB), is a calcium salt with the molecular formula C10H18O6Ca-H2O.

It is a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine, and studies have shown that HMB-Ca has the ability to prevent muscle loss and increase muscle protein synthesis.HMB-Ca is usually converted to the calcium salt form in industrial production to facilitate storage and use. In addition, HMB-Ca is widely used in sports nutrition foods and formulas for special medical purposes.

However, HMB-Ca should not be consumed by pregnant women, lactating women, infants and children.

Uses of calcium butyrate powder.

Calcium butyrate salt is an important chemical substance with a wide range of uses. Calcium butyrate salts are more soluble in cold water than in hot water and form azeotropes with water. In addition, calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (CaHMB) is a calcium salt of butyrate whose applications in food include in animal nutrition, sports nutrition, and formulas for special medical purposes.

HMB-Ca (full name β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate calcium) is a calcium salt of butyrate, which has the effect of preventing muscle loss and increasing muscle protein synthesis, and belongs to the new food ingredients, which can be used in sports nutrition food and formula food for special medical purposes.

Preparation of calcium butyrate powder.

Room temperature stirring, butyric acid 88.11g (1.0mol, 1.0eq) in 5 batches dissolved in 200mL of aqueous solution containing 45.0g of sodium hydroxide, and then to this reaction solution slowly added 200mL of aqueous solution containing calcium chloride 108.5g (0.5mol, 0.5eq), and gradually there is a white solid precipitation, the feeding of the finished reaction solution to continue to stir the reaction for 1h, heating and warming. Reaction liquid to 70 ℃ to continue to react 0.5h, while hot filtration, filter cake with hot water to wash the filtrate is neutral, 50 ℃ decompression drying calcium butyrate 155.77g, yield 72.7%.

Product method of Bulk calcium butyrate powder.
