- Introduction
- Applications
Although baked goods are processed under high temperatures, molds and spores may still grow during the shelf life, resulting in quality defects such as the appearance of visible mycelia, rancid taste, off-color and nutrition loss. Traditionally, propionic acid and its salts are used as preservatives to extend the shelf life of baked goods. Increasingly, consumer choices are influenced by the product ingredients, with consumers opting for ingredients they can trust. Labeling has become a key issue and they opt for ‘consumer-friendly’ clean labels.
Proteria® CP is natural metabolites produced by fermenting dextrose with probiotic Propionibacterium freudenreichii, which enables bakeries and culinary to meet consumer-friendly label demands, while keeping mold-free during shelf life.
