Why Sodium Propionate?
There is a growing demand in the packaged food market for sodium propionate as an antimicrobial agent to extend shelf life of food, which is expected to grow in the near future. The present invention provides a method of controlling the contents of propionic acid and other volatile alkanoic acids by adjusting the pH of the solution in which sodium propionate is isolated to a pH in the range of 8.5 to 11 in which pH-free propionic acids are present.
Propionic acid is often used as a preservative in food and feed, and the best results are obtained by mixing it with sodium propionate using formic and lactic acids.
In developing countries, the rapid growth of the food industry has encouraged by-sectors such as food preservation, food processing and others. In commercial dairy farming, the use of hormones and additives in high-quality milk, eggs and meat must be preserved without the use of artificial preservatives. This is one of the main reasons for the increased use of sodium propionate.
New technologies are being developed by producers of sodium propionate, which have advantages in terms of mass production and specific forms of the product needed for certain foods.
