Lactic Acid Series

Calcium Lactate

Calcium Lactate occurs as a white to cream-colored, crystal-line powder or granules. It contains up to five molecules of water of crystallization.

The pentahydrate is somewhat efflorescent and at 120° becomes anhydrous. It is soluble in water and practically insoluble in alcohol.
