Product description:Calcium propionate is food preservatives, acid type under acid condition, producing ionizing propionic acid, has antibacterial effect. Its bacteriostasis is affected by environmental pH value, at pH 5.0 mold inhibitory effect best; Significantly lower pH 6.0 antibacterial ability, the minimum bacteriostasis concentration was 0.01%. In acidic medium (starch, protein and fat material) for all kinds of mold, gram-negative bacillus or aerobic bacillus has the strong inhibitory effect, also can inhibit the generation of aflatoxin, and harmless to yeast, harmless to human and animal, non-toxic side effects.
