What is Mono Calcium Phosphate? We do get people asking about one of the ingredients used in our products. We use natural apple pectin and because of that, we require a form of calcium to stabilize the pectin used in our products.... please see the following FAQ from the Pomona Pectin website. This pectin is available at all Organic and Fine Food retailers. What are the ingredients in the monocalcium phosphate powder that comes with Pomona’s Pectin? The monocalcium phosphate powder that comes in its own packet when you purchase Pomona’s is a food-grade rock mineral source of calcium made up of two minerals, calcium and phosphorous. The food industry uses it as a yeast nutrient in baking, an acidulant in baking powder, and a mineral supplement. Do I have to add calcium water to my jam or jelly? Pomona’s Pectin is activated by calcium, so calcium has to be present in the mixture either naturally or added by you. Since most people don’t know the calcium content of their fruit, we recommend a calcium water amount in every recipe to be sure there is calcium in the mixture We hope this helps you to understand what that ingredient is and why it is used in our product. All other pectins on the market contain a chemical called sodium benzoate. Not a healthy additive.....
