Information

Calcium Propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid, a naturally occurring organic acid. It is characterized as a white crystalline or granular powder, with limited solubility in water and a faint odor of propionic acid. As a highly effective and specialized food preservative, it functions primarily to inhibit the growth of molds and rope-forming bacteria, with a key advantage of being less disruptive to yeast activity compared to some other preservatives, making it ideal for leavened baked goods.
