Overview

E333II - Dicalcium citrate

Dicalcium citrate (E333ii) is a calcium salt of citric acid used to control acidity, bind metal ions, and keep foods stable. It has a mild taste, works well in drinks and dairy, and can also add a small amount of calcium.

dimethyl sulfone

Dimethyl sulfone, also called methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), is an organosulfur compound found in very small amounts in some foods and in the human body. It is best known as a dietary supplement and is not assigned an E‑number as a food additive in the EU. MSM is often marketed for joint health, though evidence of benefit is mixed.
