Innovation in Dairy Shelf Life Extension
Advancements in food preservation have highlighted the role of calcium chloride in enhancing the longevity of dairy products. Recent developments in edible coatings using pectin crosslinked with calcium chloride have shown strong potential for application in Australia's dairy sector. When combined with gelatin and glutathione, these coatings improve moisture control and offer antioxidant protection. A specific concentration of 0.7 mM calcium chloride was found to deliver optimal results, significantly reducing spoilage indicators over extended storage. This application supports extended shelf life without altering product flavor, offering a solution aligned with both consumer expectations and export requirements. With dairy being a key part of the national food industry, such material innovations could play a growing role in product quality and distribution efficiency. Based on a study published in February 2025, researchers developed pectin-based edible coatings crosslinked with calcium chloride to enhance butter preservation. These coatings, incorporating gelatin and glutathione, improved moisture resistance and antioxidant properties. A 0.7 mM calcium chloride concentration yielded the best results, significantly reducing peroxide, acid, and fatty acid values over 60 days. This innovation offers potential for extending dairy product shelf life in Australia's food industry.
Diversified Sourcing Strengthens Supply Chain
Australia continues to maintain a steady flow of calcium chloride through well-established international sourcing networks. Most of the supply is secured from key Asian partners, supported by consistent contributions from select European countries. This balanced sourcing approach enhances resilience and flexibility across the supply chain, supporting essential applications in agriculture, construction, and food processing. The broadening of supplier relationships reflects a proactive effort to ensure uninterrupted availability and manage input quality. By maintaining strong ties with multiple regions, stakeholders in Australia are better positioned to respond to evolving industrial needs while reinforcing supply security. This approach also opens opportunities for exploring new formulations and applications of calcium chloride in emerging domestic sectors. For instance, in 2023, Australia imported approximately 15,131,200 kg of calcium chloride, with China being the primary supplier, accounting for about 14,007,100 kg of the imports. Other notable exporters to Australia included Sweden (377,275 kg), Poland (166,000 kg), Finland (145,000 kg), and the Czech Republic (50,400 kg).
