Calcium Propionate is an organic acid salt often used as a food preservative and yeast inhibitor. In the food sector, Calcium Propionate is widely used in bread, pastries and other baked goods.
The following are the main applications of calcium propionate in the food sector:
Mould inhibitor: Calcium propionate has the effect of inhibiting the growth of moulds and yeasts, which can prolong the shelf life of food. In bread, pastries and other pasta products, calcium propionate is added to prevent mould growth and to maintain the freshness and quality of the food.
Dough regulator: Calcium propionate can regulate the pH of dough and improve the fermentation properties of dough. It promotes the activity of yeast in the dough and improves the fermentation of the dough, resulting in fluffier and fluffier breads and pastries.
Yeast Inhibitor: Calcium Propionate inhibits the growth of yeast and prevents breads and pastries from over-expanding during the fermentation process. This helps to control the fermentation rate of the dough, resulting in products with better shape and texture.
