Description
Sodium propionate (CH3CH2COONa) is the sodium salt of propionic acid, a white, crystalline solid that functions as a food and feed preservative, preventing mold and bacteria growth to extend shelf life in baked goods and animal feed. It also acts as an energy source for ruminants and can be used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The compound is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air.
