Sodium propionate is a common food additive that is industrially manufactured but also occurs in nature. Since it is toxic to mold and some species of bacteria, it is an especially effective additive in baked goods or other products that are susceptible to
spoilage.

H&Z® Sodium propionate CAS:137-40-6 Function:
Sodium propionate is an effective inhibitor of the growth of certain molds and some bacteria in bakery goods. It is usually
preferred in non-yeast leavened bakery products because the calcium ions’ of calcium propionate interfere with the chemical
leavening agents. In those bakery products, such as cakes, tortillas, pie fillings etc., chemically leaved agents are used
(e.g.baking powder). sodium propionate is easy to handle and easy to incorporate into flour. It is a safe compound when
encountered at the low levels found in food.
H&Z® Sodium propionate CAS:137-40-6 Application:
1.Sodium propionate is mainly used as a food preservative, and also used to make medicines, dyes, etc.
2.Sodium propionate is Used in pharmaceutical industry and plant genetic research, also used as dye intermediate, fungicide and preservative
3. Antiseptic; antimicrobial agent.
4.Sodium propionate is also an important acid-type food preservative. When used, it is converted into an effective form ofbenzoic acid. Please refer to benzoic acid for the scope and amount of use. In addition, it can also be used as a preservative forfeed.
5. Sodium propionatet is used as a food additive (preservative), a fungicide in the pharmaceutical industry, a mordant in the dye industry, a plasticizer in the plastic industry, and an intermediate in organic synthesis such as perfume.
6.Sodium propionate is used as a solubilizer for serum bilirubin test, food additive (preservative), bactericide in the pharmaceutical industry,mordant in the dye industry, plasticizer in the plastic industry, and also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis such asperfume body.
