Magnesium Chloride Flakes - Food Grade

Our magnesium chloride tablets (MgCl₂ CAS 7786-30-3) meet food-grade standards and are sourced from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-a remote, pristine lake rich in ancient mineral deposits, which are extracted using natural solar energy.

 

Why is magnesium chloride used in food?

Food grade quality, representing 10-15% of magnesium chloride salts harvested in the world, is much rarer and is sold for a higher price than the more abundantly available industrial grade. This rarer form of magnesium chloride is usually siphoned from open salt water lakes in pristine alpine regions and simply filtered and evaporated to form salt flakes. It therefore retains a higher level of the naturally occurring trace elements. Food grade magnesium chloride (also called Nigari) is mainly used to make tofu by Asian food manufacturers, as well as for skin care products and horse feed supplements. Pharmaceutical companies also buy it for further refining and use in pharmaceutical products.

 

Food-grade Magnesium Chloride is widely used as a food additive, primarily as a flavor enhancer and to improve the texture and stability of food products. It also plays a key role in the production of magnesium supplements, antacids, and other pharmaceutical products. Common applications include its use in dairy products like ice cream and cheese, processed meats, and baked goods.
