Calcium Propionate, CAS NO - 4075-81-4 About
Calcium propionate is a white, crystalline or powdery organic salt with the chemical formula CHCaO and CAS No. 4075-81-4. It is the calcium salt of propionic acid and is readily soluble in water. Calcium propionate is widely used as a preservative, particularly in bakery and food products, where it helps inhibit the growth of molds and certain microorganisms and thereby extends shelf life. It is also used in animal feed and other food-related applications. Under normal handling and storage conditions, it is generally stable and should be kept in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed container.
