The main purpose

Calcium propionate is a new food additive approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). In food, brewing, feed, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, it is a new type, safe and efficient anti-mould agent. Has a wide range of antibacterial effects on molds and bacteria.

1. It can be used as a fungicide for foods and feedstuffs, and it is used as a preservative for breads and cakes. Calcium propionate is easily mixed with the flour, and it can provide the necessary calcium for the body while serving as a preservative for preservatives. It also serves to strengthen the function of food.

2. It has inhibitory effect on mold and aerobic bacillus which can cause sticky material in bread, and has no inhibitory effect on yeast.

3. It is effective in mold, aerobic Bacillus, gram-negative bacteria, aflatoxin, etc. in starch, protein and oils, and has unique anti-mildew and anti-corrosion properties.

4. As a feed additive, it can effectively inhibit moldy feed and prolong the shelf life of feed. If it is used in combination with other inorganic salts, it can also increase the appetite of livestock and increase milk production of dairy cows. Calcium propionate has low volatility, high temperature resistance and good animal adaptability and is suitable for a variety of feed applications.

5. In addition, calcium propionate can also be used as an additive to toothpastes and cosmetics, and plays a good antiseptic effect.
