How To Choose Magnesium Ingredients As Food Additives?
Magnesium citrate is primarily used as a food additive and an important source of magnesium supplementation. Magnesium is one of the essential minerals in the human body, and it plays a key role in physiological functions such as energy production, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, and blood sugar balance. Magnesium Citrate is valued for its high magnesium content and good absorption by the body. Its magnesium content is up to eleven percent. Its market quotation is $6.2-7.5/kg.
Another magnesium ingredient, magnesium glycinate, is used as a food additive, mainly as a nutritional supplement. It has a low impact on the gastrointestinal tract and is therefore recommended to help with the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium glycinate has the physical properties of a white powder that is soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. It makes it easy to process and apply in various food systems. Its applications in the food industry include but are not limited to, the following.
- Baby food and formula. It is used as a nutritional supplement to help meet the magnesium needs of infants.
- Cereals and snacks. It is used as a fortifier to improve the nutritional value of products.
- Candy and ready-to-eat foods are used as nutritional supplements to increase the magnesium content of foods.
- Sauces, tomato sauces, mayonnaise, jams and sauces. Its use as a thickener and stabilizer improves the texture and stability of food products.
- Fruit juices and wines. Its use as a dispersant improves the quality of the product.
- Ice cream and caramel. It improves texture and stability.
