Calcium Propionate is a prominent choice in the industry due to its dual role as a feed preservative and a food additive. Identified by CAS 4075-81-4 and EINECS 223-795-8, this compound is known for its efficacy as a mold inhibitor and antimicrobial agent.
Calcium Propionate appears as a white crystalline powder or granules. It boasts a high calcium propionate purity with an assay standard of not less than 98%. This showcases its chemical integrity, highlighting its functional capabilities in various applications.
As a feed grade and food grade product, Calcium Propionate is pivotal in preventing mold growth and enhancing the stability of animal feed. It ensures nutrient preservation and acts as a significant feed stability enhancer. Additionally, it is extensively used in the bakery industry, serving as a reliable bakery preservative and food preservative. The inclusion of this compound effectively extends the shelf life of products up to 24 months, safeguarding them against spoilage.
For optimal performance, it is essential to adhere to specific storage recommendations. Calcium Propionate should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. To prevent moisture absorption, containers must remain tightly closed. Standard packaging is available in 25kg bags, though customized options can be arranged upon request.
Testing Item | Standard |

Appearance | White crystalline powder or granules |
Assay (as C6H10CaO4) | ⥠98% |
Moisture Content | ⤠5% |
pH (10% solution) | 7.0â9.0 |
Heavy Metals (Pb) | ⤠10 ppm |
Arsenic (As) | ⤠2 ppm |
These testing standards are crucial to maintain the quality of Calcium Propionate. Its moisture content is controlled to be no more than 5%, ensuring stability. The pH level is maintained between 7.0 and 9.0, and stringent limits for heavy metals and arsenic are adhered to, bolstering its safety profile.
Other related preservatives include Sodium Propionate, which complements Calcium Propionate in certain formulations. In addition, Stevia Extract (Steviol Glycosides) and Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate are notable for their application in enhancing food and feed products.
