Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do.
However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
Calcium dipropionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1–0.4% (though animal feed may contain up to 1%).
Mold contamination is considered a serious problem amongst bakers, and conditions commonly found in baking present near-optimal conditions for mold growth.
A few decades ago, Bacillus mesentericus (rope), was a serious problem, but today's improved sanitary practices in the bakery, combined with rapid turnover of the finished product, have virtually eliminated this form of spoilage.
Calcium dipropionate and sodium propionate are effective against both B. mesentericus rope and mold.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING CALCIUM DIPROPIONATE:
The invention relates to a method for the production of calcium dipropionate by a batch process in a single pressure-resistant reaction vessel.
The reaction vessel is charged with calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate or a mixture thereof.
Then, pure high-concentrated propionic acid, preferably in a concentration of above 99% is added to the solid raw materials.
The heat (up to 160° C.) and pressure (up to 10 bar) are retained in the reaction vessel and are subsequently used to discharge the reaction water after the complete amount of acid has been added.
After a reaction time of 3 to 6 hours, pure Calcium dipropionate with a water content of below 1% is obtained.
