Question 1

Can this be used on refrigerated salt-brined pickles (non-canned)?

Yes, but you will want to dissolve it in the brine first. Most commercial fresh-pack pickles, including refrigerated varieties use calcium chloride as a firming agent.

Question 3

Can I use this in place of pickling lime to make homemade noodles with glucomannan?

Accepted Answer

Hello Ms. Ryan,... I've never used pickling lime to make homemade noodles, but there is a Glucomannan Flour that can be used for homemade noodles, purchased at some health food stores , and I've never used that either.  I just put an egg in mine and go on with the show.  I use Mrs. Wages Pickle Mix, Xtra Crunch to make my homemade pickles this year because I've had an abundance of cucumbers that needed some good crunch.  I was a little leery of the Calcium Chloride in Mrs. Wages Pickle Mix ( only because that is used to de-ice roads in the winter and it gave me pause to use it in my cucumbers for extra crunch ), however, it worked fine.  I say, " Nothing Ventured,....Nothing Gained ",  and I wish you Good Eating with your Noodles and see how they turn out, but first I would check with a good reliable Health Food Store, " just in case there is a better option.  I hope I haven't confused you,  but I have had cucumbers on my brain since May when they started producing and I am now the proud owner of 4 different kinds of pickles with quarts and quarts lined up in my pantry and I'm just ready for maybe some kale or turnips or whatever !  Anything but cucumbers right now.  
Thank You,
Sandy, with the crunchiest cucumbers in Texas !!
