CALCIUM LACTATE INFLUENCE ON SOME NON-PATHOGENIC MICROORGANISMS
Abstract
After calcium lactate was produced by chemical reaction between lactic acid and calcium carbonate from eggshells, it was tested on some non-pathogenic microorganisms. The influence of calcium lactate powder on non-pathogenic microorganisms varied as group and species. All the non-pathogenic bacteria growth was inhibited by calcium lactate, the inhibition diameter ranged between 1.92 ± 0.23 to 2.35 ± 0.12 cm. Among yeasts only Candida mycoderma and Pichia sp. growth was inhibited. Calcium lactate showed no influence on the studied moulds: Aspergillus niger, Penicillium
sp. and Rhizopus sp. Calcium lactate is a substance that has an inhibition effect on some non-pathogenic micoorganisms. It can be used alone, without being combined with other substances, having an acidifying effect on the microorganism nutritive media.
