Chemical Properties Of Calcium Butyrate Cas 5743-36-2

Calcium butyrate is the divalent calcium salt of butyric acid and belongs to the class of organic carboxylates. Its standard chemical formula is C₈H₁₄CaO₄, with a molecular weight of 214.27. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a slight, characteristic sour odor of butyric acid. Its key characteristic is that it combines the physiological activity of butyric acid with the nutritional functions of calcium. Its solubility in water increases as temperature decreases. It is a core product in the feed additive sector and is also widely used in the food and health supplement, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, serving as a vital compound that bridges organic acids and mineral nutrition.
