Talk about the application of calcium propionate

Calcium propionate is an antifungal agent for food and feed. It can be absorbed through metabolism, and it can also supply the necessary calcium for humans and animals, which is unmatched by other antifungal agents. At present, there are many calcium propionate manufacturers, and its applications are becoming more and more extensive. Let's take a look at it in detail below.
1. China's "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" stipulates that calcium propionate can be used in bean products, raw grains, raw wet noodle products, bread, pastries, vinegar, soy sauce and other food processes, including bean products, bread, pastries, vinegar , The maximum use amount of soy sauce is 2.5g/kg, the maximum use amount of raw grains is 1.8g/kg, the maximum use amount of raw wet noodle products (such as noodles, dumpling wrappers, wonton wrappers, and siu mai pi) is 0.25g/kg, others ( Canned bayberry processing technology) The maximum consumption is 50.0g/kg.
2. Regulations in the United Kingdom and the United States: Due to the short storage time requirements for bread, the amount of calcium propionate added is relatively small, ranging from 0.15% to 0.3%.
3. Regulations of Taiwan Province of my country (1986): Can be used for bread and steamed snacks, the maximum amount is 2.5g/kg (calculated as propionic acid).
4. German regulations: In thin black bread slices, 0.3~0.6g calcium propionate is added per kilogram of flour.
5. Japanese regulations (1985): For cheese, the maximum dosage is 3g/kg (calculated by propionic acid); for bread and western pastries, the maximum dosage is 2.5g/kg (calculated by propionic acid). If calcium propionate is used together with sorbic acid and potassium sorbate in cheese, or when a preparation containing one of them is used together, the usage amount is 3 g/kg or less based on the total amount of propionic acid and sorbic acid juice.
It can be seen that the application of calcium propionate, the use of propionate in baked goods, not only has the antiseptic effect, but also has the effect of resisting the formation of mycotoxins by molds. However, calcium propionate manufacturers still have to remind everyone: the use of calcium propionate must be within the prescribed amount.
