I-calcium formate isetyenziselwa ukonyusa ubunzima, kwaye i-calcium formate isetyenziswa njengesongezo sokutya kumantshontsho ehagu ukukhuthaza umdla wokutya nokunciphisa urhudo. I-calcium fomati yongezwa kwisondlo kwifom engathathi hlangothi. Emva kokuba iihagu zityiswe, isenzo se-biochemical of the digestive tract siya kukhulula umkhondo we-asidi ye-formic, ngaloo ndlela inciphisa ixabiso le-pH yendlela yesisu. Ikhuthaza ukukhula kwebhaktheriya enenzuzo kwindlela yokugaya kwaye inciphisa iimpawu zamantshontsho eehagu. Kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokuqala emva kokulunyulwa, ukongezwa kwe-1.5% ye-calcium formate kwisondlo kunokunyusa izinga lokukhula kwamantshontsho ehagu ngaphezulu kwe-12% kwaye konyuse izinga lokuguqulwa kwesondlo nge-4%.
