E283 potassium propionate
Specification:E283,FCC,Feed
Potassium propionate has the formula K(C2H5COO). It is the potassium salt of propionic acid.
Uses
[1] As a food additive, it is listed as E number 283 in the Codex Alimentarius. sodium propionate is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
[2] In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things, to prevent milk fever in cows and as a feed supplement
