Calcium propionate or calcium propanoate, the calcium salt of propionic acid, is a common bread and meat preservative which functions by inhibiting the growth of mold & other bacterial and therefore prolong food shelf life. It also provides nutritional value as a source of calcium. The European food additive number for it is E282.

Uses of calcium propionate
It is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products that include bakery, cheese, meat, dairy products and etc. It is also used for the prevention of milk fever in cattle.

We have own factory for calcium propionate, so you can got the best price from UBC.
Our main preservative as below:
| Preservative | Appearance | Form | Key Characteristics | Applications | Best Synergistic Partners | Enhanced Effect |
| Sodium Benzoate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Effective at low pH (< 4.5); inhibits yeast and mold growth | Carbonated drinks, fruit juices, pickles, sauces | Citric acid | Enhances antimicrobial activity by lowering pH. |
| Potassium Sorbate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Wide pH range (3-6.5); effective against yeast and molds | Baked goods, cheeses, dried fruits, fermented products | Sorbic acid | Extends preservative efficacy, especially in acidic environments. |
| Sodium Propionate | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Primarily inhibits mold and some bacteria; stable under baking conditions | Bread, pastries, processed cheese | Calcium propionate | Improves mold inhibition in bakery products. |
| Calcium Propionate | White crystalline powder | Granular/Powder | Prevents mold and bacterial growth; pH-independent activity | Bakery products, processed meat, dairy products | Sodium propionate | Synergistic for extended mold control in bakery applications. |
| Benzoic Acid | White crystalline solid | Powder/Crystals | Best in acidic conditions (pH < 4); antimicrobial activity against molds and yeast | Soft drinks, syrups, jams, fruit juices | Citric acid, sorbic acid | Improves effectiveness in acidic foods. |
| Sorbic Acid | White crystalline powder | Powder | Effective against molds and yeast; ideal for low to neutral pH levels | Meat products, cheeses, beverages, cosmetics | Potassium sorbate, citric acid | Provides extended antimicrobial protection. |
| Citric Acid | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Acidulant that also acts as a preservative by lowering pH; antioxidant properties | Beverages, jams, candies, baked goods, processed foods | Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, ascorbic acid | Enhances pH-dependent preservative efficiency and prevents oxidation. |
| Nitrites (e.g., Sodium Nitrite) | White crystalline solid | Powder/Granular | Inhibits Clostridium botulinum in cured meats; enhances color stability | Cured meats (ham, bacon, sausages) | Ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid | Reduces nitrosamine formation and stabilizes meat color. |
| Ascorbic Acid | White crystalline powder | Powder/Granular | Antioxidant; prevents oxidation and browning in food and beverages | Juices, canned fruits, frozen vegetables | Sulfur dioxide, citric acid | Enhances antioxidant properties and maintains product freshness. |
| Natamycin | White crystalline powder | Powder | Antifungal agent; prevents mold growth | Cheeses, yogurt, beverages | Potassium sorbate, sorbic acid | Provides broad-spectrum antifungal protection, especially in dairy and cheese products. |
