Calcium Propionate

Calcium Propionate is a food additive and preservative that plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of various baked goods. It is widely recognized for its ability to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria, particularly in bread and other bakery products. This white crystalline solid is effective in acidic conditions, making it ideal for use in products that contain yeast and fats. Calcium Propionate helps maintain the freshness and quality of baked goods by preventing spoilage without altering their taste or texture.

It is approved for use by regulatory authorities and is considered safe for consumption when used within recommended limits.
