As we begin to figure out a more specific topic for our research, I wanted to post a quick table about the properties of Calcium Propionate, a common food preservative.
| CAS No. | 4075-81-4 |
| Chemical Formula | C6H10O4Ca |
| Specification | export standard |
| Packing | In 25kg bags |
| Functional use | Preservative |
| Items | Specification |
| Appearance | White crystalline powder |
| Content % | ≥99.0 |
| Moisture % | ≤8.0 |
| Water insoluble matter % | ≤0.15 |
| pH | 7.0-9.0 |
While a lot of this may not mean a lot, as its mostly used for commercial purposes, its important to notice the chemical formula. Calcium Propionate is the calcium salt of propanoic acid. As for IMF, according to the Lewis dot structure and what we know about IMF, it can be gathered that there H bonding is the most important IMF.
