What it is

Dextrose is a simple sugar, also known as glucose, typically derived from corn. Calcium sulfate is a mineral salt, often produced by reacting sulfuric acid with calcium carbonate or by mining natural gypsum. When combined, they form a mixture used in food processing.

Why it's used

This combination often acts as a firming agent and a dough conditioner. It helps maintain the texture and structure of foods, particularly in cheese production and baked goods, ensuring a consistent product.

Health notes

Dextrose is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a sweetener. Calcium sulfate is also GRAS for use as a firming agent, nutrient supplement, and more. Both substances are commonly found in the diet and are generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA when consumed in typical amounts. No specific health concerns are associated with their use at levels found in food.

Allergen info

Dextrose is not a major allergen. Calcium sulfate is a mineral and not a major allergen. Neither contains gluten.
