Calcium propionate is also an acid-type food preservative, It has strong inhibitory effect on various molds, Gram-negative bacilli or Bacillus aerobicus in acidic medium. It has special effects on preventing the production of aflatoxin, but is almost ineffective against yeast. In the food industry, it is mainly used for vinegar, soy sauce, bread, cakes and soy products . It can also be used as a fungicide for feed Use As a preservative for bread, pastries and cheese, and a fungicide for feed. As a propionate for food preservatives, calcium propionate is mainly used for bread, because sodium propionate raises the pH of bread and delays the fermentation of raw noodles; sodium propionate is often used in cakes, because the bulk of the cake is synthetically expanded. The loosening agent has no yeast development problems caused by an increase in pH. When used as a feed preservative, sodium propionate is superior to calcium propionate. However, calcium propionate is more stable than sodium propionate. In addition to bread, cakes, cheese, etc.,propionate can also be used for soy sauce to prevent mildew and inhibit re-fermentation.
