Molecular formula/Structural formula:2(C3H6O2)·Ca

Properties:Molecular weight of 186.22, white lig

ht flaky crystal, or white granular or powder.Special smell, slightly in moist air easy deliquescence.Salt monohydrate as colorless monoclinic system tabular crystal.Soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol.For the mold, yeast and bacteria have a wide range of antibacterial effect

Application:Used for bread;Pastry and cheese preservation agent and feed mould inhibitor.As a food preservative agent of propionic acid salt, calcium propionate is mainly used in bread, because the ph of the sodium propionate make bread rise, delay the fermentation;Because the pastry multi-purpose sodium propionate, pastry bulk using composite leavening agent, no pH rise developmental problems caused by yeast.

Storage and transportation:Store in a cool, dry place.Store in an airtight container.
