Latest News and Developments:
Calcium propionate is an additive in food often used in baked and processed food products and well as animals’ feedstuff. It stops the growth of mold and bacteria, resulting in prolonged shelf life of products. From the chemical perspective it is calcium salt that is produced by the treatment of propionic acid. Its properties prevent food from spoilage and preserve its quality during storage and distribution.
Calcium propionate is recognized as “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS) by authorities when application is within the specified ranges. Its efficacy is high in acidic conditions, which makes it good for a vast array of food products. On a physical level, calcium propionate is a white crystalline solid with faint smell. It is water soluble and not alcohol, acetone, and ether soluble. It remains stable in normal circumstances, but the high moisture and temperature decomposes it.
It does not produce toxicity or corrosiveness; therefore, it presents a rather low risk for both human health and the environment if used carefully. Its pH-based solubility and stability enables it to be a powerful preservative in acidic food products resulting in its popularity being popularized in the food industry.
