Calcium formate imagwiritsidwa ntchito kuonjezera kulemera, ndipo calcium formate imagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chowonjezera cha chakudya cha ana a nkhumba pofuna kulimbikitsa chilakolako ndi kuchepetsa kutsekula m'mimba. Calcium formate imawonjezedwa ku chakudya mwanjira yopanda ndale. Ana a nkhumba atadyetsedwa, zomwe zimachitika m'matumbo am'mimba zimatulutsa kachulukidwe ka asidi, potero kumachepetsa pH ya m'mimba. Zimalimbikitsa kukula kwa mabakiteriya opindulitsa m'mimba ndikuchepetsa zizindikiro za nkhumba. M’milungu ingapo yoyambilira kuyamwa, kuwonjezeredwa kwa 1.5% ya calcium formate ku chakudya kukhoza kuonjezera kukula kwa ana a nkhumba ndi 12% ndi kuonjezera kusintha kwa chakudya ndi 4%.
