Calcium propionate is an organic salt with the chemical formula of Ca(OOCCH 2 CH 3 ) 2 . The substance is formed by the reaction of calcium hydroxide with propionic acid (also known as propanoic acid). The compound occurs in two forms: powder and crystalline. It’s slight solubility in alcohol and high solubility in water makes it suitable in a plethora of applications: 1.        Food Additive Studies indicate that calcium propionate is one of the safest food additives used by the food industry. The chemical is most commonly used in baking products. In addition to baking, the salt is also used in as a preservative in chocolate products, processed cheeses, tobacco products, and fruit preserves. It should not be used with some types of cheeses as they naturally contain propionic acid. 2.        Animal feed To prevent the growth of mould and other microorganisms in them, calcium propionate is added to tobacco and ani...

Lithium Chloride (LiCl) is a chemical compound that can be made by igniting lithium and chlorine. It is a difficult process because the reaction can be violent and needs to be performed in controlled environment. The chemical can also be extracted from other alkali metal chlorides with amyl alcohol. The chemical is available in both hydrous (with water) and anhydrous (without water) forms. The highly versatile material has a plethora of applications including: What are the Uses of Lithium Chloride? [4 Key Applications] 1. Lithium Production 2. Desiccant 3. Pyrotechnics 4. Other Applications 1. Lithium Production Lithium chloride is the compound used to produce lithium metal by electrolysis. Lithium metal is produced by electrolysis of a molten mixture of lithium and potassium chlorides. The lower melting point of the mixture (400-420° C or 750-790° F) compared to that of pure lithium chloride (610° C or 1130° F) allows the lower temperature o...

Temperature data loggers are equipment that are used to monitor shipments in a supply chain and to gather temperature data from diverse field conditions. The data loggers are equipped with the best in class sensors which provide results with accuracy levels that rivals that of many higher priced, computer-based data acquisition systems. However, not all data loggers are created equal, and with are so many choices available today, it can be challenging to find the right one for your needs. Here are 5 things you need to know to choose the right temperature data logger for you: 1. Know Your Accuracy Requirements You should know beforehand how accurate you want the data logger to be, no matter what you need to measure. For example, an air conditioner might require +/-1 ⁰ C accuracy whereas monitoring conditions in a research lab require far greater accuracy. Accuracy can vary depending on the type of the data logger, a good understanding of specific accuracy requirements...

Desiccants are compounds or agents, such as Montmorillonite Clay or Silica Gel that are used in facilitating low-humidity environments by adsorbing moisture content from the air. They are typically used in transport, storage, or maintenance of materials and products, desiccants are used to keep everything from gym shoes to military munitions dry. Tips on How to Choose the Right Desiccant For Use What do You Need to Know before Using the Desiccants? Where to Start? 1. Know the Product that You’re Going to Use the Desiccant for 2. Know the Environment 3. Know the Packaging Examples of Desiccants What do You Need to Know before Using the Desiccants? Desiccants are designed to prevent four sources of water contamination in a closed container or package, such as 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 and moisture entry into the ...

A temperature data logger, also known as temperature monitor, is a portable measurement device that autonomously records the temperature over a definite period of time. It automatically collects, monitors, and stores the information so that it can be reported on a later date. They can be directly attached to a product inside the refrigerated truck, and used for observing the temperature of goods being shipped. 5 Applications of Temperature Data Loggers 1. Epoxy, Chemical, and Varnish Transportation 2. Food, Meat, and Dairy Transportation 3. Pharmaceuticals and Vaccine Transportation 4. Environmental monitoring 5. Other Applications 1. Epoxy, Chemical, and Varnish Transportation Chemicals, epoxy, and varnishes are temperature sensitive products. If these products are kept outside the temperature range, they get degraded and their shelf life is reduced. Temperature data loggers are used to record and manage the temperature to reduce the degrada...

One of the main issues gripping the packaged food industry is the increase of mold in the products. This happens due to the presence of oxygen in the surroundings. One of the best solutions to this problem is oxygen absorbers. The absorbers don’t allow the bacteria to grow in this environment in an effective way than the vacuum packaging and other methods. Use of oxygen absorber packets doesn’t affect the taste of food items or cause any other problems. Here are some tips on how to use oxygen absorbers: 1. Quantity: Not all foods need the same amount of oxygen absorber to keep them fresh. The more dense the product, the less amount of oxygen absorbers they need. Foods like dried pasta and beans require more amounts of oxygen absorbers as compared to packaging grains, flours, and rice. 2. Salt and Sugar: You should not store oxygen absorbers with sugar as it can turn sugar hard as a brick. Salt is a preserver itself and doesn’t require oxygen absorber to preserve it. Salt c...

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 ...
