Purpose
1. Sodium propionate is an acid-type food preservative. Its antibacterial effect is influenced by the environmental pH value. In acidic media, it has a strong inhibitory effect on various molds, Gram-negative bacteria, or aerobic spore-forming bacteria. It has a specific effect in preventing the production of aflatoxin and is almost ineffective against yeast. In the food industry, it can be used for the preservation of pastries, with a usage amount of 2.5g per kg (based on propionic acid).
2. Cosmetic preservative. It has antibacterial effects against molds, yeasts, and has a wide range of antibacterial effects. Its antibacterial effect is particularly obvious in acidic solutions. The addition amount in cosmetics is usually no more than 2%.
3. Other uses: as an insecticide, a mold inhibitor, and a binder in leather production to enhance the leather's alkali resistance and the uniformity of tanning.
