Calcium Peroxide is widely used in the baking industry as a dough conditioning agent. It has application in oral care formulations and as a seed coating for grains and vegetables. Calcium Peroxide is also used as an oxygen source in environmental and industrial applications.
Calcium peroxide (CaO2) is an oxidizing agent produced by combining calcium salt with hydrogen peroxide to form a solid, relatively stable compound. This food-grade powdered ingredient is mainly used as a flour bleaching agent. It is also used as a non-halogenated dough improver to improve bakability. Adding calcium peroxide to flour strengthens the gluten wall of the dough, resulting in better texture, moisture retention, and yield in bread.
Calcium peroxide is also used in agriculture to promote seed germination by using it in the treatment of rice seeds before sowing.
In oral care, it can serve as a source of peroxide for teeth whitening products.
The slow oxygen release of calcium peroxide makes it an ideal and cost-effective solution for soil remediation and other industrial or environmental applications.
