Intro to Ammonium propionate:

Ammonium propionate can be Used as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. It produces free propionic acid under acidic conditions and has antibacterial properties. It has a special effect on preventing the production of aflatoxin, but it is almost ineffective on yeast. Good effect on various molds and gram-negative bacilli. The lower the pH, the better the anti-corrosion effect.

Colorless column-shaped crystal. Molecular weight91.109,Melting point:45°C,Relative density:1.108. It is cold water soluble as well as alcohol and acetone. With strong hygroscopicity,Deliquesce in moisture. It can be used as anticorrosive, fungicide . Under acid condition, propionate ammoniumit has antifungal function. Under low PH value, the effect is better.It has low corrosive, and low volatility, stored under 35°C, in cool, sealed place and avoid of sunlight and water.

Appearance

Ammonium propionate is yellow or light yellow lumpy granular crystals with a slightly pungent odor. It is miscible and soluble in ethanol, chloroform and ether. It is low-toxic and corrosive. It can deliquescence in the air.

Molar Mass:91.11 g/mol

Structure:

Solubility: Zinc propionate is miscible and soluble in ethanol, chloroform and ether. It is low-toxic and corrosive..

Use of Ammonium propionate

[1] Used as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. It produces free propionic acid under acidic conditions, which has antibacterial effect. The lower the pH, the better the anti-corrosion effect.

[2] Ammonium propionate is less corrosive and has good anti-mildew and anti-caking effects for grains.

[3] The feed and grain preservatives in the United States mainly use ammonium propionate, and the compound of propionic acid and ammonium propionate can exert the best anti-mildew and bactericidal effects in an acidic environment.

Ammonium Propionate specification

Appearance: White Crystal

Ammonium propionate has the formula CH3CH2COONH4. It is the ammonium salt of propionic acid.
