Hydrated lime food grade, also known as food grade calcium hydroxide, is a high-purity chemical widely used in food processing applications. Manufactured under strict quality control, food-grade hydrated lime complies with Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) standards and is safe for regulated food use.
Vigyan Lime, one of India’s top lime manufacturing companies, supplies hydrated lime FCC grade and calcium carbonate food grade to food processors, exporters, and global industries. With decades of manufacturing expertise, Vigyan Lime ensures consistent purity, safety, and compliance for food and beverage applications.
What Is Hydrated Lime Food Grade?
Hydrated lime food grade is chemically known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂). It is produced by hydrating high-purity quicklime using controlled processes and food-safe water, followed by fine grinding and quality testing.
Key Characteristics
