(1) As a food additive, it is listed as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius. Calcium propionate is used as a preservative
in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
(2) In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things, to prevent milk fever in cows and as a feed supplement
(3) Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike
benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
(4) Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1-0.4%
(5) Calcium propionate can be used as a pesticide.
