Application:
Calcium propionate is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products. In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things; to prevent in cows and as a feed supplement, Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
Calcium Propionate can inhibit growth of some individual molds and bacteria and is widely used in grain products such as bread to inhibit molds and prolong product shelf life. In addition, it is used to prevent other products from deterioration resulted from microorganisms. Compared with other bacteria killers, it is non-toxic and lowin cost, and thus is widely used in wines, cakes, fruit jam, bean products, chocolate, cheese and western style meal. It is never harmful to health and has a remarkable effect in anti-mold.
Usuage:
1. As a food additive, it is listed as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius. Calcium propionate is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
2. In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things, to prevent milk fever in cows and as a feed supplement
3. Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
4.Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1-0.4%
5.Calcium propionate can be used as a pesticide.
Calcium propionate is a new type of food additive. It is a safe and reliable antifungal agent for food and feed approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Calcium propionate has a wide range of antibacterial effects on molds, yeasts and bacteria. It is harmful, harmless to humans and animals, and has no toxic side effects.
Calcium propionate as a feed additive can effectively inhibit feed mildew and prolong feed storage period. If combined with other inorganic salts, it can also improve the appetite of livestock and increase the milk yield of dairy cows. Calcium propionate has the advantages of low volatility, high temperature resistance and good adaptability to animals.
