calcium chloride is commonly used when making cheese. Firstly, it works as a firming agent – helping the cheese curds clump together and be more stable.
Beyond that, it’s also highly useful for regulating the process of separating curds and whey. Small amounts of calcium chloride can be added to milk, changing both its calcium content and its pH level, which in turn will change the properties of the cheese which is made.
- Brewing Beer
Calcium chloride is also seen among brewers, as one of many “brewing salts” which can be added to affect the type and quality of the beer. It can help correct for unbalanced mineral levels, and alter the pH of the beer. This is vital for creating a stable product!
