Calcium EDTA is known for its ability to chelate or bind with metal ions, especially calcium. This property makes it useful in various industries, including food and beverage, where it can be employed to stabilize products by sequestering metal ions that might otherwise catalyze undesirable reactions.
Food and Beverage Industry: In the food industry, calcium EDTA is sometimes used as a food additive. It can act as a preservative by binding to metal ions that might otherwise cause discoloration or deterioration in the quality of certain foods.
Medical Applications: Calcium EDTA is also used in medical settings, particularly for the treatment of heavy metal poisoning. It can help in chelating and removing toxic heavy metals, such as lead or cadmium, from the body.
Water Treatment: Like other EDTA salts, calcium EDTA can be used in water treatment processes to sequester metal ions and prevent the formation of scale and deposits.
Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: Calcium EDTA may be included in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations where metal ion control is important for stability and performance.

What is Chelated Calcium EDTA?
In Chelated Calcium EDTA, the divalent calcium (Ca2+) is complexed with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). EDTA, a hexadentate ligand, uses its four carboxylate and two amino groups to tightly bind to the calcium ion, forming a stable structure.
What is the chemical formula of Calcium EDTA?
C10H12CaN2Na2O8
What are the applications of Chelated Calcium EDTA?
1. Agriculture, to correct calcium deficiency
2. To treat lead poisoning in humans/animals
How is Chelated Calcium EDTA beneficial in agriculture?
In agriculture, calcium EDTA is used as a micronutrient to prevent and correct calcium deficiencies in plants, promoting healthy growth and yield
Is Chelated Calcium EDTA safe for use?
Yes.
