DESCRIPTION

Calcium Lactobionate occurs as a white to cream-colored, free-flowing powder. It readily forms double salts, such as the chloride, bromide, and gluconate. It is anhydrous when obtained by spray-drying, or the dihydrate when obtained by crystallization. It is freely soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol and in ether. It decomposes at about 120°. The pH of a 1:10 aqueous solution is between 6.5 and 7.5.
