Introduction

Calcium propionate is a food additive that serves as a preservative to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria in various food products. It is the calcium salt of propionic acid and is recognized for its ability to extend the shelf life of baked goods and other perishable items. Calcium propionate appears as a white, odorless powder and is easily soluble in water.

2. Dairy Products: Calcium propionate is used in some dairy products, such as cheese, to inhibit the growth of spoilage organisms and improve product longevity.

3. Processed Meats: It is also utilized in certain processed meat products to help preserve quality and safety.
