[3] Propionates prevent microbes from producing the energy they need, like benzoates do. However, unlike benzoates, propionates do not require an acidic environment.
[4] Calcium propionate is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor, typically at 0.1-0.4%
[5] Calcium propionate can be used as a pesticide.
