99% Calcium Propionate for Food Preservation & Antifungal Applications
Calcium propionate (chemical formula: C₆H₁₀CaO₄) is a white, fine crystalline powder with no odor or taste. It exhibits moderate hygroscopicity, is easily soluble in water, and produces a weakly alkaline aqueous solution. This high-purity, fine-particle anhydrous form is a commonly used industrial-grade product that remains stable in air without decomposition.
As a safe and efficient preservative and antifungal agent, calcium propionate releases propionic acid under acidic conditions, inhibiting the respiratory and metabolic processes of microorganisms including mold, yeast, and bacteria. It provides significant bacteriostatic effects without harmful residues and maintains high safety for humans and animals.

Applications
Food Industry
Preservative for flour products (bread, pastries, steamed buns), dairy, meat, and soy products. Inhibits mold including Penicillium and Aspergillus, extending shelf life by 30%-50% without affecting taste, color, or nutritional value.
Feed Industry
Anti-mold agent for livestock, poultry, and aquatic feed. Prevents mildew in high temperature/humidity conditions, reduces mycotoxins (aflatoxin), protects intestinal health, maintains nutrient stability, and improves feed conversion efficiency.
Construction Industry
Added to mortar, coatings, and putty powder to inhibit mold growth on walls in humid environments, preventing mildew spots and peeling while enhancing durability and appearance in basements and bathrooms.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Auxiliary in formulations for adjusting pH in oral liquids and ointments, stabilizing acid-base environment, reducing active ingredient degradation, improving preservation, and extending storage period while ensuring safety.
Other Applications
Mild preservative in cosmetics (creams, lotions) to inhibit harmful microorganisms; anti-mold treatment for leather semi-finished products to ensure quality stability.
