Description
Sodium propionate is mainly used in baked goods and cheese products. Baked goods such as bread, pastries, and mooncakes have high moisture content and are highly susceptible to mold growth during storage. Adding sodium propionate (usually 0.1%-0.3%) can effectively extend shelf life and prevent economic losses caused by mold. Compared with other preservatives, sodium propionate has almost no impact on the normal fermentation activity of yeast, thus having a unique advantage in bread production, achieving mold prevention without affecting the product’s volume and texture. In addition, sodium propionate can also be used in the processing of cheese, jam, and jelly to inhibit surface mold growth.
