Magnesium Chloride USP
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate USP[7791-18-6].
Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous USP95.21 [7786-30-3].

Magnesium Chloride contains not less than 98.0 percent and not more than 101.0 percent of MgCl2·6H2O.
Packaging and storage— Preserve in tight containers.
Labeling— Where the product is intended for use in hem dialysis, it is so labeled.
Identification— A solution (1 in 20) responds to the tests for Magnesium and for Chloride
pH: between 4.5 and 7.0, in a 1 in 20 solution in carbon dioxide-free water.
Insoluble matter— not more than 0.005% is found.
Sulfate — A 10-g portion shows no more sulfate than corresponds to 0.50 mL of 0.020 N sulfuric acid (0.005%).
Barium— Dissolve 1 g in 10 mL of water, and add 1 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid: no turbidity is produced within 2 hours.
Limit of calcium— the limit is 0.01%.
Potassium— Dissolve 5 g in 5 mL of water, and add 0.2 mL of sodium bitartrate TS: no turbidity is produced within 5 minutes.

DESCRIPTION
Magnesium Chloride occurs as colorless flakes or crystals. It contains six molecules of water of hydration. It is hygroscopic, very soluble in water, and freely soluble in alcohol.
Function: Color-retention agent; firming agent.

REQUIREMENTS
Identification: A 1:10 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Magnesium and for Chloride.
Assay: Not less than 99.0% and not more than 105.0% of MgCl2·6H2O.
Ammonium: Not more than 0.005%.

Sulfate: Not more than 0.03%.

Magnesium chloride (E511 is an important coagulant used in the preparation of cheese and tofu. In Japan it is sold as nigari (derived from the Japanese word for “bitter”), In China, it is called lushuiNigari or lushui consists mostly of magnesium chloride, with some magnesium sulfate and other trace elements. It is also an ingredient in baby formula milk.
