5 Common Uses of Calcium Propionate


Calcium propionate (Ca (C2H5COO) 2), is formulated by neutralizing propionic acid with calcium hydroxide. It is used as a preservative in bread and other baked goods. It is an anti-microbial agent commonly used in bread. It is effective in preventing mould growth and helps extend the shelf life of edible items. Apart from these common uses, Calcium Propionate is also used for other purposes including:

1. Pharmaceutical: Calcium Propionate is used as an anti-microbial agent in Pharmaceutical products. It can also be used to improve patient’s health by inhibiting the growth of fungi and preventing the mould growth.

2. Animal Feed: To prevent the growth of mould and other microorganisms in them, calcium propionate is added animal feeds. It is also added to cow feed to prevent milk fever and provide extra calcium to cattle.3. Cosmetics: Calcium propionate is used to prevent and thus protect cosmetic products from spoilage. It is also used to control the pH of cosmetics and personal care products.

4. Food: Calcium Propionate is used as preservative in food production such as in bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products. It prevents the growth of Bacillus Mesentericus mould strain which normally spoils the food. It can also be naturally present in some cheeses and butter as fermented foods produce this compound.

5. Other industrial uses: Calcium propionate is used in paint and coating additives. It is also used as plating and surface treating agent. The substance is also used in making photo chemicals and photographic supplies.

Agile Nobel, an industry leader in supplying chemical products, offers the highest grade Calcium propionate at the most competitive prices. In addition to Calcium propionate, the company also offers Humidity Indicators, Oxygen Absorbers, Oxygen indicators, Education Collaboration Services, Chemical Sourcing Services, Technological Solution Services, Nano Silica, Nano Alumina, Nano Copper and various other products and services.

How to Choose the Right Desiccant?

Desiccants are compounds that are used in facilitating low humidity environments. This is because desiccants can absorb moisture from the air. Desiccants are often used in transport, maintenance or storage of various materials and products. Some common types of desiccants include montmorillonite clay, silica gel, etc. Here is how you can choose the right desiccant for your use: What do You Need to Know before Selecting the Desiccant? There are four common sources of water contamination in a closed container or package: ·          Water vapor in the air inside the package ·          Moisture contained in the materials inside the package ·          Moisture in or on the walls of the package ·          Entry of moisture into the package due to permeation or leakage When deciding on the proper desiccant, you should know how much water vapor can be adsorbed by the desiccants at various relative humidity level. Where to Start? You need to determine the conditions

A Complete Guide to Humidity Indicator Cards

Humidity in the air can wreak havoc on packed materials, causing corrosion and growth of mold. With temperature changes, condensation can be a major problem as well. While you can place a desiccant in the packaging to absorb moisture for a while, but desiccants eventually lose their effectiveness and need replacing. By knowing the level of humidity in a transit case or shipping container, you can take action before any damage occurs. This is where humidity indicator cards come into play. What are Humidity Indicator Cards? Humidity indicator cards are cards that are impregnated with materials that change color when indicated relative humidity is exceeded. Usually, it is a blotting paper that has been impregnated with cobalt (II) chloride base. Less toxic alternatives available in the market include other chemicals such as cobalt-free chloride base and special plastic films. Humidity indicators are a relatively inexpensive way to indicate humidity inside any sealed packag
