Calcium Acetate is versatile and used in various applications. It acts as an effective growth inhibitor for specific bacteria, making it ideal for food preservation.
Prevention of Rope Formation
Calcium Acetate is widely used in the baking industry to prevent rope formation in bread. The high moisture content in bread promotes bacterial growth, leading to rope. Since these bacteria are heat-resistant and can survive the baking process, Calcium Acetate serves as a crucial agent to inhibit their growth and extend the shelf life of bread.
Effectiveness Against Rope
The product is a highly effective anti-rope agent, ensuring the prevention of rope formation without interfering with the fermentation process, baking results, or the taste of the bread.
Recommended Usage
For optimal results, it is recommended to use Calcium Acetate at a concentration of 0.2% to 0.5% based on the amount of flour. This concentration will effectively prevent rope formation while maintaining the desired bread quality.
Effective Anti-Rope Agent：Prevents rope formation in bread, ensuring fresh, high-quality products for longer shelf life.
Non-Interfering with Baking Process：Does not interfere with fermentation, baking, or the natural taste of the bread.
Ideal for Extending Shelf Life：Helps reduce waste by keeping bread fresh and consumable for a longer period.
Safe to Use ：Meets food safety standards with controlled heavy metal and chemical content, ensuring safe consumption.
