Special Salts

Organic mineral salts for mineral fortification

Jungbunzlauer Special Salts are high-quality and highly bioavailable organic mineral salts derived from citric acid, gluconic acid or lactic acid.

Our calcium, magnesium, potassium or zinc sources are mainly used for mineral enrichment in food, beverages, dietetic as well as pharmaceutical products due to their superior technological and nutritional properties. Additionally, tricalcium citrate and tripotassium citrate serve as sodium-free additives for pH and acidity regulation purposes. Monosodium citrate is applied as low-water-content alternatives in applications where an excess of water would lead to undesired reactions, e.g. in dry blends and effervescent tablets.

Special Citrates

Monosodium Citrate

Monosodium citrate is a monobasic salt with multiple functions used in diverse industries.

Monomagnesium Citrate

Monomagnesium citrate is the monobasic magnesium salt of citric acid and is mainly used as magnesium source in functional food and beverages.

Trimagnesium Citrate

Trimagnesium citrate is mainly used as mineral source in food supplements, foods for particular nutritional purposes, and pharmaceutical preparations.

Tricalcium Citrate

Tricalcium citrate is the most commonly used calcium salt of citric acid. Due to its high bioavailability, it is preferred over inorganic calcium sources.

Tripotassium Citrate

Tripotassium citrate is used as buffering, sequestering or emulsifying agent. It usually replaces trisodium citrate whenever a low sodium content is desired.

Zinc Citrate

This organic mineral source is mainly used in dental care products, but applications in food supplements, functional foods and beverages are increasing.

Special Gluconates

Calcium Lactate Gluconate

This mixture of calcium lactate and calcium gluconate is widely used in pharmaceuticals, food and beverages as calcium source with outstanding characteristics.

Potassium Gluconate

Potassium gluconate, the potassium salt of gluconic acid, serves as potassium source in food and pharmaceutical products.

Zinc Gluconate

Zinc Gluconate is the most common used organic zinc source in food supplements, functional foods and beverages.

Special Lactates

Magnesium Lactate

Magnesium lactate, the magnesium salt of lactic acid, is mainly used in beverages and sports nutrition drinks for magnesium fortification.

Zinc Lactate

Zinc lactate, the zinc salt of lactic acid is mainly used in dental care products like toothpaste or mouthwash and as a zinc source in food and beverage products.
