Applications
Calcium Propionate is used as good binding material for toxin binders for all animal species, especially in poultry sector. Calcium propionate gives excellent results when it is added in feed of poultry, veterinary, fishery, piggery, swine and other animal feed.
The Significance of Preservatives
Bread is very susceptible for microbial growth, especially the growth of molds and some specific bacteria. Although bacteria, molds,and mold-spores are usually killed during the baking process, re-contamination of the bread occurs by airborne molds and spores, and by the processing equipment during and after cooling. Strict attention to bakery hygiene can greatly reduce contamination, but it is not possible to avoid it completely. Bacterial spores are heat resistant and may survive the baking process, causing rope formation on bakery goods. Rope is characterized by a brownish, sticky, and wet crumb, which causes an unpleasant overall appearance. The rate of microbial growth on bread is affected by the number and type of spores present. It is accelerated by high storage temperature and high humidity. Microbial growth rate is also influenced by the ingredients used. Wrapped or sliced bread is particularly susceptible to microbial spoilage due to additional processing steps after baking. The use of a preservative is therefore beneficial in extending the shelf life of bakery goods.
Application Methods
Calcium Propionate(CAS No.: 4075-81-4)
1. Antifungal agent
Calcium propionate is a safe and reliable antifungal agent for food and feed approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Calcium propionate can be absorbed by humans and animals through metabolism, and supply calcium necessary for humans and animals. It is considered to be GRAS.
2.Food mold inhibitor
3.Feed fungicide
