Barriers to adoption of biogenic carbonates in the food, pharmaceutical & supplement sectors

Barriers to adoption of biogenic carbonates in the food, pharmaceutical & supplement sectors

There is an increasing demand for environmentally sustainable sourcing of ingredients for the food, pharmaceutical and supplements industries. In the case of calcium carbonate (E170) as by-products from the egg and shellfish processing industries these have the potential to be sustainably sourced. I...
