Purpose
1. Calcium propionate can be used as food and feed mildew, preservative for bread and cake. Calcium propionate is easy to mix with flour, in the same time as a preservative and can provide the necessary calcium in the human body, play a role in strengthening the food.
2. Calcium propionate to mold and can cause bread produced sticky silk material of aerobic Bacillus inhibition, the yeast without inhibition.
3. In starch, protein and lipid material on the mold, aerobic spore produced bacteria, gram negative bacteria, Aspergillus flavus and effective, and has unique mold, corrosion properties.
4. Is food and brewing, feed, medicine aspects of a model with safe, efficient, broad-spectrum food and feed with fungicides.
5. Calcium propionate as a feed additive can effectively inhibit the feed mildew, prolong the shelf life, if with other inorganic salt can also improve the appetite, improve the milk yield of dairy cattle. Calcium propionate is of low volatility, high temperature resistance, good adaptability to animals, and is suitable for many kinds of feed.
