Industry Wise Application
Bakery Products (Primary Application)
- Bread and Rolls:It is the standard anti-mold agent in yeast-raised products, as it does not inhibit yeast fermentation, unlike sodium propionate.
- Pizza Base & Tortillas:Used to prevent mold growth on tortillas, wraps, and pizza crusts.
- Cakes and Pastries:Used in moisture-sensitive, chemically-leavened goods, though it must be balanced to avoid interfering with rising agents.
- Rusk and Biscuits:Used to keep low-moisture baked goods fresh.
- Dosage:Typically 0.1% to 0.3% of the total flour weight.
Dairy Products
- Processed Cheese:Used in slices and blocks to prevent mold growth.
- Cream-based Products:Included in spreads and dressings to inhibit bacterial growth.
- Paneer/Cottage Cheese:Applied to increase shelf life in packaged, high-moisture cheese products.
Package & Process Food
- Ready-to-Eat Items:Used in items like packed parathas, rolls, and frozen foods to retain freshness.
- Sweets and Confectionery:Prevents fungal attack in products like Peda, Barfi, and syrup-based sweets (gulab jamun).
- Sauces:Used in specific condiments like vinegar and soy sauce to prevent secondary fermentation.
Agricultural & Animal Feed
- Silage Preservation:Acts as a mildew inhibitor in silage, preventing the production of mycotoxins.
- Total Mixed Rations (TMR):Added to animal feed to improve aerobic stability, reduce energy loss, and improve palatability.
- Dairy Cow Health:Used to prevent metabolic diseases like milk fever and ketosis during the peri-partum period.
