Why Choose Calcium Propionate?
Bread calcium propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid and is a widely used, safe, and effective food preservative. Food-grade calcium propionate effectively inhibits mold growth, controls fungal infections, extends shelf life, has minimal impact on flavor, and is stable during baking.
Tiny water molecules in the air cause flour to absorb moisture, or using dry flour directly to make bread without adding food-grade preservative calcium propionate usually results in a short shelf life for baked goods. Adding an appropriate amount of calcium propionate during the manufacturing process can help extend the shelf life of baked goods. The image below illustrates how the popular calcium propionate works.
Calcium propionate is safe for use in all kinds of baked goods, such as: white bread, whole wheat bread, sandwich bread; sponge cake, mille crepe cake, muffins; tortillas, flour tortillas, flatbreads; croissants, danish pastries, palmier; baked foods, food provisions, convenience foods.
