levulinic acid calcium salt dihydrate

Description:
Levulinic acid calcium salt dihydrate, with the CAS number 5743-49-7, is a calcium salt derived from levulinic acid, a five-carbon ketocarboxylic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its hygroscopic nature, meaning it can absorb moisture from the environment. It is soluble in water, which enhances its utility in various applications. The dihydrate form indicates that it contains two molecules of water per formula unit, contributing to its stability and solubility characteristics. Levulinic acid calcium salt is often explored for its potential applications in food preservation, as a biodegradable plasticizer, and in pharmaceuticals due to its biocompatibility. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in agricultural and food science. Overall, this compound represents a versatile substance with potential benefits in multiple fields, particularly in sustainable and environmentally friendly applications.
