Latest News and Developments:
Sodium propionate refers to the sodium salt of propionic acid with the chemical formula C3H5NaO2. It appears as a white, crystalline solid or powder and is soluble in water. This compound is extensively employed as a food preservative under the E number E281. The primary function of sodium propionate is to inhibit the growth of mold and some bacteria, thereby extending the shelf life of various food products such as cheeses, baked goods, and confections. It works by disrupting the metabolism of mold and bacteria, which prevents their growth and proliferation. Sodium propionate is particularly effective in acidic conditions, thus making it a suitable preservative for products with a low pH. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) due to its low toxicity and minimal side effects.
