CrystalBan™

CrystalBan™ got started during a conversation between a Food Science Professor from the University of Minnesota and a Chemical Engineer from Nutricepts, Inc. They were discussing the reasons for differences in calcium solubility between Cheddar cheese and other food products. After much thought they postulated a method to decrease lactic acid production during the cheese making process by adding controlled amounts of sodium gluconate to the salt.
