Calcium Propionate - Dovative Pion
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Calcium propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid that is commonly used as a food preservative in bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products. It can extend the shelf life of food and feed products by interfering with the growth of microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. It is also used in agriculture as a food supplement and to prevent milk fever in a cow. Milk fever is a calcium deficiency disease that commonly occurs after calving. This will have an impact on decreasing milk production, reproductive performance, and others.
Calcium Propionate is approved for use by YANG and FAO for safe food and use in feed acid- based preservatives. Under acidic conditions, so that free acid has an antibacterial effect. Calcium Propionate can be absorbed through metabolism and supply the necessary calcium for humans and animals, this advantage cannot be compared with other fungicides.
