Product Introduction:
Calcium Propionate (Calcium Propanoate)
A white crystalline powder or granular, possessing not more than a faint odor of propionic acid, stable to heat and light.
Solubility: In organic solvent:
slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol,
insoluble in acetone and benzene.
In water: it is
freely soluble in water with the solubility of 49 g/100 mL (0 °C), and 55.8 g/100 mL (100 °C). (It dissociates propanoic acid which has antimicrobial activity.)
ph: It has
good activity in the PH below 5.5. Baked goods with low pH (higher acidity) such as bread (ph 5.3-5.8), cheese (Swiss Gruyere cheese PH 5.1 - 6.6), and cakes (angel cake, PH 5.2 - 5.6) require smaller quantities; higher pH products such as cake chocolate (ph 7.2-7.6) require more as the dissociated propionic acid is less.
During periods of
high humidity and high temperature, a higher use amount is required.
It helps
keep baked goods fresh by preventing mold and bacterial growth. Your
body doesn't store calcium propionate, so it doesn't build up in any of your cells. When your digestive system is busy breaking down all the foods you eat, it also splits the calcium apart from the propionic acid, which is readily absorbed and metabolized, just like any other fatty acid. Then your body eliminates it.
(Calcium propionate will be hydrolyzed to propionic acid and calcium after entering into the feed body. Propionic acid is an important volatile fatty acid, a small amount of it will be converted to lactic acid, and the rest will turn to glucose or provide energy after oxidation. It can be seen that calcium propionate is an important energy substance. Meanwhile, it is a supplement of calcium that benefits teeth, muscles, nerves, and cells that work normally and also build and maintain strong bones.)
Application:
Calcium propionate is more active than sodium benzoate against molds but has no activity against yeast, thus making it an ideal choice for bakery products (proper amount at the
concentration 0.1-0.4%) that use yeast as an ingredient.
It can also function
as mold and rope inhibitors in
cheese, non-alcoholic beverages, confections, fillings, frostings, fresh dough, pizza crust, puddings, gelatins, jams, jellies, and some meat products.
Bread (It is commonly added with the other ingredients during the dough-mixing process.) {Bread is easy to be contaminated with mold in a hot, humid environment and on the equipment although they were killed during the baking process. Calcium propionate is the mold inhibitor commonly used in bread and other yeast-based bakery goods without interfering with its fermentation as it has no activity against yeast. In addition, it can
enhance calcium nutrition. Sodium propionate is not recommended to use in bread or rolls because it will delay the fermentation of yeast, but it is suggested in the preservation of cakes while calcium (from calcium propionate) alters the action of chemical leavening agents in cakes.} and other baked goods.
Feed, as a
mold inhibitor and
treat of milk fever for swine, ruminants, poultry, fish, pet...(Calcium propionate can be added directly to animal feed in the dry form or dissolved in water before the application due to its good solubility.)
cosmetics Per the "European Commission database for information on cosmetic substances and ingredients", calcium propionate
acts as a preservative in
cosmetic and personal care products.
