PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Calcium propionate is white crystal or white crystalline powder or granules, odorless or with a slight smell of propionic acid. Calcium propionate used as a food additive is a monohydrate, stable to water and heat, hygroscopic, easily soluble in water, 39.9g/100mL (20℃), insoluble in ethanol and ether.

Calcium propionate is an acidic food preservative. Under acidic conditions, it produces free propionic acid and has antibacterial effects. Its antibacterial effect is affected by the pH value of the environment. The best inhibitory effect on mold is at pH 5.0; the antibacterial ability is significantly reduced at pH 6.0, and the minimum inhibitory concentration is 0.01%. It has a strong inhibitory effect on various molds, Gram-negative rods or aerobic bacilli in acidic media (starch, protein-containing and oily substances), and can also inhibit the production of aflatoxin, while it is harmless to yeast, harmless to humans and animals, and has no toxic side effects. It is a new, safe and efficient mildew preventer for food and feed in the fields of food, brewing, feed and Chinese medicine preparations.

PRODUCT USAGE

1. Calcium propionate can be used as a mildew preventer for food and feed, and as a preservative for bread and cakes. Calcium propionate is easy to mix evenly with flour. While serving as a fresh-keeping preservative, it can also provide calcium necessary for the human body, playing the role of strengthening food.

2. Calcium propionate has an inhibitory effect on mold and aerobic Bacillus that can cause sticky substances in bread, but has no inhibitory effect on yeast.

3. It is effective against mold, aerobic spore-producing bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, aflatoxin, etc. in starch, protein-containing and oily substances, and has unique mildew and antiseptic properties.

4. It is a new, safe, efficient and broad-spectrum mildew preventer for food and feed in the fields of food, brewing, feed and Chinese medicine preparations.

5. Calcium propionate as a feed additive can effectively inhibit feed mold and extend the shelf life of feed. If combined with other inorganic salts, it can also increase the appetite of livestock and increase the milk production of dairy cows. Calcium propionate has low volatility, high temperature resistance, good animal adaptability, and is suitable for a variety of feeds.

6. Calcium propionate can also be used as an additive for toothpaste and cosmetics, playing a good preservative role.

7. A new type of feed additive, mainly used as a mildew inhibitor, which can extend the shelf life of feed.
