Product Overview

Calcium Propionate (E282) is a widely used food preservative and mold inhibitor. It effectively suppresses mold growth in baked foods without interfering with yeast fermentation. It keeps stable during high-temperature baking, extending the shelf life of bread, cakes and pastries. It is also applied in noodles and cheese formulations.

Character

1.White crystalline powder or granules, readily soluble in water.

2.Specifically effective against mold and rope-forming bacteria, with minimal impact on yeast activity, making it ideal for leavened dough products.

3.Excellent thermal stability, preserving preservative performance during high-temperature baking and retort processing.

4.Metabolizes in the human body into propionic acid and calcium, leaving no harmful residue.

5.Compatible with flour, sugar, eggs and other common bakery ingredients.

6.Food grade complies with international standards for food preservatives.

Main Functions

1.Mold Inhibition Function: Effectively inhibits mold growth in baked goods, extends product shelf life.

2.Antibacterial Preservation Function: Suppresses the reproduction of spoilage bacteria to prevent food deterioration.

3.Heat Stable Preservation Function: Maintains preservative activity under high-temperature baking conditions.

4.Mineral Supplement Function: Releases calcium during metabolism, providing minor calcium nutrition.

Applications

Food Industry

Calcium Propionate is used in baked goods, noodle products and dairy foods. It acts as preservative and mold inhibitor, restraining mold and spoilage bacteria growth. It maintains stable performance during high-temperature baking processes and will not disrupt yeast fermentation, helping to extend the shelf life of finished food products. refrigerated shelf life.

Feed & Pharmaceutical Industry

Feed grade Calcium Propionate serves as preservative for animal feed, while pharma-grade material can be used in topical formulations. Both have relatively low consumption.

Packaging and Storage

Packaging: 25kg multi-ply paper bags with inner PE liner; jumbo bags (500kg/1000kg) for bulk shipment.

Storage Requirements: Store in cool, dry, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from moisture, strong odors, direct sunlight and high heat environment.
