Calcium propionate is the calcium salt of propionic acid. it is used to reduce the possibility of mold & aerobic sporulating bacterial development both in food and feed. It maintains the nutritive value & elongates the period of food and feed products can be used leads in extending the shelf life of animal feed. It can be metabolized and absorbed by humans and animals as a precursor for glucose synthesis.
A reaction between calcium hydroxide and propionic acid forms calcium propionate. It can be prepared by passing a vaporous mixture of propionic acid and water into an aqueous solution containing calcium propionate and calcium hydroxide, with or without propionic acid.
