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.
Calcium Propionate can inhibit growth of some individual molds and bacteria and is widely used in gain
products such as bread to inhibit molds and prolong product shelf life. In addition, it is used to prevent
other products from deterioration resulted from microorganisms.Compared with other bacteria killers, it
