1. Product Description
Ammonium Propionate is a white to light yellow crystalline or powder-form salt of propionic acid and ammonia, known for its antimicrobial, preservative, and mold-inhibiting properties. It is widely used in feed additives, grain storage, agriculture, and industrial settings. In some regions, it is used as a preservative in food-related applications, subject to local regulatory approvals.
2. Grades Available
Industrial Grade: For general preservation, chemical, and agricultural uses
Feed Grade / High Purity Grade: For use in animal feed and food processing (indirect contact)
Ammonium Propionate is not universally approved as a food additive. Confirm compliance with local food safety authorities before food-related use.
