Propionic Acid

Product overview

Encapsol™ Propionic Acid (HM Coated – Low Odor) is a next-generation encapsulated preservative designed to deliver controlled release of propionic acid while minimizing its characteristic pungent odor.

Using advanced hot melt coating technology, the active ingredient is sealed within a functional coating matrix, preventing early volatilization and interaction during mixing and baking.

This enables slow release post-baking, ensuring strong mold inhibition for longer time. It offers a clean sensory profile with no off or pungent smell associated with Propionic acid.

Performance in Cake Applications

Significantly reduces the sharp odor associated with propionates, making it ideal for premium cakes.

Maintains leavening efficiency, cake volume, and crumb softness while ensuring consistent preservation in high-moisture systems.
