What is Calcium Chloride used for?
One use for calcium is as a desiccant. Anything that qualifies as a desiccant means it’s used as a drying agent. Using calcium chloride in foods helps to absorb any moisture that would create an environment where bacteria would thrive.
It is also used both pre- and post-harvest to maintain firmness, reduce decay, and prevent certain diseases in fruits and vegetables
With such a widely-applicable benefit as a drying agent, calcium chloride is used in a number of applications. One of these applications includes de-icing and preventing the formation of ice. If you use rock salt in the winter for your home or business, you’re using a form of calcium chloride.
