Though it has its benefits for food manufacturers, you may wonder whether E282 (Calcium Propionate) is safe to eat.
This article explains what E282 (Calcium Propionate) is and whether it’s safe.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is a naturally occurring organic salt formed by a reaction between calcium hydroxide and propionic acid.
It’s commonly used as a food additive — known as E282 — to help preserve various food products, including:
Baked goods: breads, pastries, muffins, etc.
Dairy products: cheeses, powdered milk, whey, yogurt, etc.
Beverages: soft drinks, fruit drinks, etc.
Alcoholic drinks: beers, malt beverages, wine, cider, etc.
Processed meats: hot dogs, ham, lunch meats, etc.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) extends the shelf life of various goods by interfering with the growth and reproduction of molds and other microorganisms.
Mold and bacterial growth are a costly issue in the baking industry, as baking provides conditions that are close to ideal for mold growth.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), World Health Organization (WHO), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is a preservative that helps keep your food safe to eat.
It's used in baked goods, cheeses, jams, puddings and frostings, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Chemical names can seem mysterious.
Unlike other items in the ingredient list (think: flour and eggs), it's harder to know what precisely these are.
Propionate acids occur naturally in cheese and butter, per the FDA.
They're a short-chain fatty acid, according to the American Council on Science and Health.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is the calcium salt of propionic acid, while sodium propionate is the sodium salt of that same acid.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) and sodium propionate are antifungal and also help stop the growth of certain bacteria, according to the FDA.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) (also known as E282) is the calcium salt of propanoic acid.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is used as a food preservative and is commonly found in commercial bread and other baked goods.
However, it can also be found in processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) meets the specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). As a bread preservative, it helps keep baked goods fresher longer by preventing mold and bacterial growth. While you might find good mold in certain cheeses, moldy bread is never a good thing.
By prohibiting mold and bacterial growth, E282 (Calcium Propionate) extends the normal shelf-life of bread and baked goods.
For large-scale baking operations, including bread that is found sliced, wrapped, or foiled in grocery stores, this cuts down on product spoilage and waste.
Ordinarily, the high moisture content of bread is an ideal environment for mold growth.
However, E282 (Calcium Propionate) severely inhibits this problem.
It’s best used with yeast-leavened bakery products because the calcium ions interfere with the chemical agents in non-yeast leavened bakery products.
Besides preserving the food for longer periods of time, E282 (Calcium Propionate) also contributes to the nutritional value of the food because it is a source of calcium.
Calcium is, of course, a very important mineral for the human body.
Calcium contributes to bone and tooth health, blood clotting, nerve function, hormone and chemical regulation, and even helps keep a regular heartbeat in the human body.
What is E282 (Calcium Propionate)?
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is the calcium salt of propionic acid.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is a preservative commonly used in baked goods around the world, where it extends their shelf life by inhibiting the growth of spoilage microorganisms, namely mold and ropy bacteria.
Characteristics of E282 (Calcium Propionate) include:
Chemical formula: C6H10O4 Ca
Molecular Weight: 186.22
Works best at pH below 5.5
Recommended usage level in bakery: 0.1-0.3% flour weight, but higher levels not uncommon
Nutrition: 21 grams of calcium are present in 100 grams of E282 (Calcium Propionate)5
Function
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is commonly used as a preservative in yeast-raised baked products such as pre-packed and sliced bread, and in some chemically-leavened goods like tortillas.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is added during the dough phase and its optimal use level is mainly dependent on the formula and the desired shelf life of the finished product.
Commercial production
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is formed by neutralizing chemically-synthesized propionic acid with calcium hydroxide.
Although it has been a preservative of choice in bakery for decades, in recent years it has been increasingly challenged as non-clean label by many consumers and leading retailers, resulting in a push to reduce or altogether eliminate it from formulations.
Application
Here are some factors that bakers and formulators must consider when using this ingredient:
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is most active in the pH range below.
Therefore, it is common to use acids to adjust the pH to optimize the activity.
Moreover, salts of benzoic or sorbic acid are recommended for use in products with higher pH levels, such as in many chemically leavened sweet baked goods.
In tortillas, E282 (Calcium Propionate) and potassium sorbate are commonly used together, to achieve a broad spectrum of mold inhibition while maintaining product quality.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is the ideal preservative for bread and rolls because it has little effect on yeast and does not interfere with its fermentation.
In some applications such as cakes, however, it may not be a good preservative option, as the high use level and its available calcium interfere with the chemical leavening.
In contrast, sodium propionate will delay fermentation of yeast and is not recommended for use in breads or rolls, but it is preferred for the preservation of cakes.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is effective at inhibiting growth of mold and ropy bacteria when its dose relative to the number of microbial cells present is adequate to block cell metabolism.
If the baked good is produced in an environment without effective current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), the dose may not be effective in inhibiting microbial growth.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) or calcium propanoate, the calcium salt of propionic acid, is a common bread and meat preservative which functions by inhibiting the growth of mold & other bacterial and therefore prolong food shelf life.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) also provides nutritional value as a source of calcium.
The European food additive number for it is E282.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is a new type of food preservative developed in recent decades with its considered safety over sodium benzoate (E211), and price lower than potassium sorbate (E202).
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is made from the reaction of propionic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
Nature
white particles or crystalline powder, odorless or slightly specific odor.
Soluble in water (40%), difficult to dissolve in alcohol, ether, etc. Hygroscopic. Because propionic acid is an intermediate of human normal metabolism, it is safe and non-toxic.
The monohydrate is a colorless monoclinic flaky crystal. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol and methanol, almost insoluble in acetone and benzene.
In the humid air deliquescence, when heated to 120 deg C, the loss of crystal water, 200 -210 deg C phase change occurs, 330~340 deg C decomposition into calcium carbonate.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is an acid food preservative, and its antibacterial activity is affected by the Environmental pH value. In acidic medium, it has a strong inhibitory effect on all kinds of mold, Gram negative bacilli or aerobic bacillus.
There is an effect on the prevention of the production of aflatoxin, and almost no effect on yeast.
In the food industry, mainly used in vinegar, soy sauce, bread, cakes and soy products, the maximum use (in propionic acid) 2.5g/kg; The maximum use of raw wet products 0. 25g/kg.
Calcium propanoate or E282 (Calcium Propionate) has the formula Ca(C2H5COO)2.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is the calcium salt of propanoic acid.
Uses:
As a food additive, it is listed as E number 282 in the Codex Alimentarius.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including: bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
In agriculture, it is used, amongst other things, to prevent milk fever in cows and as a feed supplement.
Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) 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.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) and sodium propionate are effective against both B. mesentericus rope and mold.
Metabolism of propionate begins with its conversion to propionyl coenzyme A (propionyl-CoA), the usual first step in the metabolism of carboxylic acids.
Since propanoic acid has three carbons, propionyl-CoA can directly enter neither beta oxidation nor the citric acid cycles.
In most vertebrates, propionyl-CoA is carboxylated to D-methylmalonyl-CoA, which is isomerised to L-methylmalonyl-CoA.
A vitamin B12-dependent enzyme catalyzes rearrangement of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, which is an intermediate of the citric acid cycle and can be readily incorporated there.
Children were challenged with E282 (Calcium Propionate) or placebo through daily bread in a double‐blind placebo‐controlled crossover trial. Although there was no significant difference by two measures, a statistically significant difference was found in the proportion of children whose behaviours "worsened" with challenge (52%), compared to the proportion whose behaviour "improved" with challenge (19%).
When propanoic acid was infused directly into rodents' brains, it produced reversible behavior changes (e.g. hyperactivity, dystonia, social impairment, perseveration) and brain changes (e.g. innate neuroinflammation, glutathione depletion) partially mimicking human autism.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) can be used as a fungicide on fruit.
In a 1973 study reported by the EPA, the waterborne administration of 180 ppm of E282 (Calcium Propionate) was found to be slightly toxic to bluegill sunfish.
In a recent well-designed translational study, human subjects fed 500 mg of E282 (Calcium Propionate) twice daily demonstrated a modest decrease in LDL and total cholesterol, without a change in HDL.
The study, only eight weeks in length, requires additional studies of both verification and longer duration to demonstrate the clinical value of this chemical.
The study identified a novel regulatory circuit that links the gut microbiota metabolite propionic acid (PA), a short-chain fatty acid, with the gut immune system to control intestinal cholesterol homeostasis.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) (sometimes known as Calcium Propanoate) is a white solid and a calcium salt of propionic acid (propanoic acid).
E282 (Calcium Propionate) is a common preservative used in a range of products throughout a range of industries.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) occurs when manufacturers react both calcium hydroxide and propionic acid together.
This reaction creates a white solid, which is milled traditionally into a powder or granular item for sale.
The central aspect of E282 (Calcium Propionate) is that it is a highly safe and efficient shelf-life extender and mould inhibitor.
Propionates are well known as a product that prevents microbes from producing the energy they need to survive and thrive.
E282 (Calcium Propionate) isn't toxic in itself as it is a means of inhibition rather than killing microbes.
As E282 (Calcium Propionate) is an additive and shelf-life extender, you can find it in countless food, beverage, and industrial businesses. Applications include a range of baked goods (bread, pastry, muffins), cheeses, powdered milk, yoghurt, carbonated drinks, fruit juices, beers, wine and a large variety of processed meats, to name a few.
