Magnesium Chloride, chemical formula MgCl2. [1] The substance can form a hexahydrate, namely magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O), which contains six water of crystallization. [2] In the industry, anhydrous magnesium chloride is often referred to as halogen powder, while magnesium chloride hexahydrate is often referred to as halogen, halogen, and halogen. Whether it is anhydrous magnesium chloride or magnesium chloride hexahydrate, they all have a generality: easy to absorb moisture, easy to enter into water. Therefore, we should pay attention to storage in a dry and cool place when storing.

Magnesium chloride Usage :
1. Curing agent; nutritional fortifier; flavoring agent (combined with magnesium sulfate, salt, calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium sulfate, etc.); solubilizer for Japanese sake; dewatering agent (for fish cake, dosage 0.05%~ 0.1%); tissue improver (used in combination with polyphosphates as an elastic enhancer for surimi products). Due to strong bitterness, the usual amount is less than 0.1%;
2, wheat flour treatment agent; dough quality improver; oxidant; canned meat modified agent; malt saccharification treatment agent
