Application

1. Used in the food industry as a leavening agent, dough conditioner, buffer, texture modifier, curing agent, nutritional supplement, chelating agent, etc. Such as a leavening agent for baked goods and pastries; Leavening agent, buffer and pectin curing agent (gelation effect) for bread and biscuits; Yeast food, tissue modifiers for meat products, etc.

2. Used as a food preservative and fungicide. It can be used alone or in combination with propionic acid and sorbic acid. Because it is alkaline, it is more suitable for pastry making than calcium propionate. Propionate is of great significance for the preservation of baked goods such as bread, pastries and biscuits. This is because the ionization constant of propionic acid is small, and thus it still has a good effect under alkaline conditions.

3. Used in brewing, which can increase the saccharification power and improve the fermentation capacity of beer. It can be used as a viscous substance printing agent or feed additive.
