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.

E1209 - Polyvinyl alcohol-polyethylene glycol-graft-co-polymer

Polyvinyl alcohol–polyethylene glycol graft co‑polymer (E1209) is a man‑made film‑forming substance. Food makers use it mostly to coat tablets and capsules in food supplements so they are smooth, protected from moisture, and easier to swallow. In the European Union (EU), it is an approved additive with detailed quality specifications.
