Product Advantages

Produced under food safety standards with strict impurity control, non-toxic and safe for direct contact with food raw materials

Flaky crystals produce minimal dust to keep clean feeding environment and avoid food cross-contamination

Crystal water brings mild heat release during dissolution without liquid splashing for safe food processing

Controllable coagulation speed, prevents bitter taste in bean products and delivers tender texture of finished goods

Moderate hygroscopicity, easier storage than anhydrous magnesium chloride without rapid deliquescence and caking

Main Industrial Applications

Coagulant for Bean Products

Special brine raw material for brine tofu, soybean pudding and dried tofu sheets. It coagulates soybean milk to form authentic tender and elastic tofu, the traditional edible brine material.

Curing Agent for Jellyfish Processing

Used for jellyfish pickling and shaping to stabilize meat texture, maintain crisp taste and extend shelf life.

Food Calcium & Magnesium Fortifier

Added to beverages and health supplements as magnesium fortifier to supply essential minerals with clear solution without turbidity.

Fresh-Keeping Auxiliary for Fruits & Vegetables

Soak fruits and vegetables for preservation to strengthen cell walls, delay dehydration and browning without harmful substances produced.

Auxiliary for Brewing & Beverage Industry

Adjust mineral content of brewing water, optimize yeast fermentation environment and improve taste and clarity of drinks.

Comparison

Food grade hexahydrate flake magnesium chloride

Complies with food additive standards with strict control over harmful impurities such as heavy metals and arsenic, pure white without discoloration, exclusively for food processing.

Industrial grade hexahydrate flake magnesium chloride

Available in white, yellow and coffee brown with loose impurity limits, only used in magnesite building materials, dust suppression, water treatment and other industrial fields, forbidden for food contact.

Food grade hexahydrate flake

46% content with crystal water, mild heat release and lower price, suitable for regular tofu and jellyfish processing;

Food grade anhydrous magnesium chloride

Higher purity without crystal water, ultra-strong hygroscopicity with higher cost, mostly used for high-concentration food liquid preparation and food desiccants.

Storage & Transportation Notes

Packed in woven bags lined with food-grade composite inner film, stored in independent dry warehouse specially for food raw materials;
Strictly prohibit mixed storage with industrial chemicals, odorous and toxic materials to avoid cross-contamination;
Hygroscopic, seal the bag tightly after opening and consume within short term to prevent deterioration by moisture absorption.
