PROPIONIC ACID IP/USP

✅ PROPIONIC ACID (CAS 79-09-4) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Propionic Acid (CAS 79-09-4) is a colorless liquid organic acid that has a pungent odor, similar to vinegar, and is primarily used as a preservative and acidulant in food production. It occurs naturally in fermented foods and produced by various bacteria. In the food industry, Propionic Acid is used as a preservative to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria in bakery products, cheese, and cereal products. In pharmaceuticals, Propionic Acid is used as a pH regulator and buffering agent in the preparation of various oral medications. It is also used in industrial applications such as the production of plastics, fungicides, and herbicides. This colorless liquid is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/USP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets, capsules, topical formulations, and industrial processes. We supply Propionic Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, food producers, cosmetic manufacturers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
