calcium 2-hydroxypropanoate (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoate (1:1:1) (non-preferred name)

Description:

Calcium 2-hydroxypropanoate, also known by its non-preferred name (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoate, is a calcium salt of a hydroxypropanoic acid derivative. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its use in various applications. It is characterized by its ability to form stable complexes with other compounds, making it useful in food and pharmaceutical formulations. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups contributes to its hydrophilicity and potential as a humectant or stabilizer. Additionally, the calcium ion provides nutritional benefits, as calcium is essential for various biological functions. The compound may exhibit mild sweetness and is often explored for its potential in food science, particularly in the development of low-calorie sweeteners or as a flavor enhancer. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like all substances, it should be used in accordance with regulatory guidelines and safety data.
