■ Specifications
1.Characters:
Molecular Formula: C6H10CaO4
CAS No.: 4075-81-4
EINECS NO.: 223-795-8
Application: Preservative in the solid food, like breads, cookies, cheese; Anti-mold agent and mineral additives in feed filed.
Shelf life: 12 months. Origin: China.
2.Properties:
calcium propionate, a white powder or crystal, is odorless, or slightly smells propionic acid, and stable to heat and light. it is highly hydroscopic, soluble in water (50g/100ml) and insoluble in ethanol and ether. under the acidic condition, it generates free propionic cid which has antibiotic effect.
3.Applications:
[1] As a food additive, it is listed as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius. Calcium 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
[3] Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates,
propionates do not require an acidic environment.
[4] Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1-0.4%
[5] Calcium propionate can be used as a pesticide.
4.Packing details:
1. Packing Material: Double polyethylene film bag
2. Net Weight: 25kg/bag
