Applications

Propionic acid is widely utilized in research focused on:

  • Food Preservation: As a natural preservative, it helps inhibit mold and bacteria growth in baked goods and dairy products, extending shelf life and ensuring food safety.
  • Agriculture: Used in herbicides and fungicides, it effectively protects crops from pests and diseases, promoting healthier yields and reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals.
  • Pharmaceuticals: It serves as a building block in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, enhancing drug efficacy and stability in formulations.
  • Animal Feed: Added to livestock feed, it aids in digestion and improves nutrient absorption, leading to better growth rates and overall animal health.
  • Bioplastics: Employed in the production of biodegradable plastics, it contributes to sustainable materials that reduce environmental impact compared to traditional plastics.
