1. Exciting Applications of Calcium Propionate
[1] As a versatile food additive, designated as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius, calcium propionate serves as a preservative across a broad spectrum of products. From bread and baked goods to processed meat, whey, and dairy products, it ensures lasting freshness.
[2] In agriculture, calcium propionate plays a vital role, preventing milk fever in cows and enhancing nutrition as a feed supplement.
[3] Propionates excel at inhibiting microbial energy production, similar to benzoates, yet they uniquely function without the necessity of an acidic environment.
[4] Widely used in bakery products, calcium propionate acts as an effective mold inhibitor, typically utilized at concentrations of 0.1-0.4%.
[5] Beyond food preservation, calcium propionate also serves as a protective pesticide, offering multiple benefits.
