Calcium propionate is a calcium salt of propionic acid widely used as a food preservative and mold inhibitor, particularly in bakery and dairy products. It effectively prevents the growth of mold and certain bacteria, thereby extending shelf life without significantly affecting taste or nutritional value. Calcium propionate is also used in animal feed, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural applications.
The market is driven by the growing demand for processed and packaged food, increasing awareness about food safety, and the need to reduce food waste. Its approval by food safety authorities across multiple regions further supports widespread adoption.
