Product Description

Calcium Propionate is a widely used food-grade preservative, primarily applied as an effective mold inhibitor in bakery and food processing industries. It helps extend shelf life by preventing the growth of mold and certain bacteria, without affecting the taste or nutritional value of the final product.

With excellent stability and compatibility, Calcium Propionate is especially suitable for use in bread, cakes, pastries, and other moisture-sensitive foods. It is also used in feed applications to improve storage stability.
