Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.What is calcium lactate? Is it vegan?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What is calcium lactate? Is it vegan?),it will help you,my kids.
Answers:
It should be a vegan ingredient. It is a calcium salt of lactic acid.
According to our research, domestically made lactic acid is produced without whey as the fermentation medium. It is typically vegan. Archer Daniels idland Co. reports that they use only hydrolyzed cornstarch as the fermentation medium. Purac America Inc., says that they use only beet sugar.
However, with imported products, such as some olives, the source of the lactic acid is unknown.
If it's lactate or lactic acid, it's not from dairy (exception - sterol
lactate due to the stearic acid). "Lac" ingredients are usually produced by a fermentation process using cornstarch or beet sugar. Lactose is always from dairy. Most ingredients made with with calcium are vegan (i.e. calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate). The exceptions are calcium caseinate and calcium stearate. Drink up the calcium fortified o.j. - it's vegan!
Other Answers:
Calcium lactate is a white crystalline salt made by the action of lactic acid on calcium carbonate; used in foods (as a baking powder) and given medicinally.
Calcium lactate is often found in aged cheeses. Small crystals of it precipitate out when lactic acid is converted into a less soluble form by the bacteria active during the ripening process.
In medicine, calcium lactate is most commonly used as an antacid and also to treat calcium deficiencies. Calcium lactate can be absorbed at various pHs and does not need to be taken with food for absorption for these reasons.
Lactic Acid.
Found in blood and muscle tissue. Most commercial uses are derived from the fermentation of whey, cornstarch, potatoes, and molasses.
Lactose.
Milk sugar from the milk of mammals. In eye lotions, foods, tablets, cosmetics, baked goods, and medicines. Alternatives: plant milk sugars.
The others are not on the list I use (http://www.peta.org/mc/factsheet_display.asp?ID=72), so I asume they are vegan.
