Application / Intended Use

L'acide propionique et ses sels sont l'inhibiteur de moisissure standard dans la boulangerie et l'alimentation animale. Les boulangers l'utilisent à environ 0,1-0,3 % du poids de la farine pour prolonger la durée de conservation du pain et des tortillas sans affecter la levure ; les usines d'alimentation l'appliquent aux grains à l'humidité de récolte pour prévenir la moisissure pendant le stockage. C'est également un intermédiaire pour les herbicides et le propionate d'acétate de cellulose.
