Calcium gluconate is a naturally occurring product. Frequently Calcium Gluconate is added to food for its nutritional / health value e.g. in baby food, juices, biscuits, health foods etc. Another use is the incorporation of Calcium Gluconate in instant pudding power mixes in order to increase the speed of reaction. It also speeds up the natural fermentation process. Although Calcium Gluconate is more expensive than some other Calcium Salts, it has the preference for quality products. It does not give the pudding a sour taste since it is neutral.
