Calcium glycerophosphate is more soluble in water when the temperature is lower, and the aqueous solution is alkaline. Insoluble in ethanol, but soluble in glycerin. Citric acid or lactic acid can increase its solubility in water, but it is easy to decompose when heated. It is commonly used as a calcium fortifier for food, and used in bread, flour, noodles, soy milk, etc. Dosage is below 1%.
Calcium glycerophosphate is widely used in medicine, food, toothpaste and other industries. It can be used as a calcium supplement in food; in medicine, it plays the biological and physiological role of calcium, has the function of perfecting tissue cells and forming bone tissue, and at the same time plays a role in the metabolism of calcium glycerophosphate, and has a supplement The role of brain vitality.
As early as 1960, it was discovered that calcium glycerophosphate has antibacterial and anti-caries effects. Through research, it has been found that it can increase the calcium and phosphorus content of tooth enamel, inhibit the demineralization of tooth enamel, and improve the remineralization of tooth enamel. Calcium glycerophosphate can change the acidity and alkalinity of tooth enamel surface and enhance its anti-acid ability.
The advantages of calcium glycerophosphate are self-evident, but currently there are not many applications in the oral care industry in my country. Calcium glycerophosphate is an excellent additive for oral products, especially suitable for calcium-supplemented toothpaste and chewing gum. It is also an anti-caries The ideal raw material for additives can be used in children's toothpaste to promote the growth of teeth and strengthen calcium.
The role of calcium glycerophosphate in toothpaste is mainly manifested in the following aspects: ①Control of plaque. ② Protective effect on dentin. ③The impact on the ecological balance of oral flora. In addition, calcium glycerophosphate can improve the absorption of fluoride. Adding 0.1% to 0.13% calcium glycerophosphate to toothpaste containing SMFP can greatly increase the absorption rate of fluoride by the enamel, and strengthen the fluorination effect of the enamel against demineralization.
