I-Blūm™
Naturally, enhance calcium content
Our I-Blūm precipitated calcium carbonate has been specifically designed to enhance the calcium content of functional foods and beverages such as yoghurt, meal replacement bars and drinks, bakery snacks, dairy-based and plant-based beverages powdered beverage mixes.
Our I-Blūm range is ideal as a functional additive to enhance calcium content due to its specially engineered properties, including:
- High purity
- Improved rheological and flux properties
- Anti-caking properties
- Thermal stabilization during the extrusion process
- Available in multiple particle sizes
- Can function as a pH corrector
Our high-purity precipitated I-Blūm grades are sustainably sourced from high-quality minerals. According to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), they are processed at our facilities.
The I-Blūm range is available in four densities:
I-Blūm F18 | I-Blūm F23 | I-Blūm F50 | I-Blūm F70 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
