Supplying industrial chemicals from Vadodara since 2015 — ETP coagulants, RO programs, and process chemicals with batch COA/MSDS.
Calcium propionate is a mould inhibitor used in bakery and some food matrices — not a flavour salt swap for sodium chloride. RFQs that only say “propionate, best rate” get quotes on industrial material or assay bands your QA cannot release.

Mr Rajesh Chauhan
Founder-led industrial chemical supply from Vadodara — ETP coagulant selection, RO programs, textile and pharma utility chemicals. Batch COA/MSDS on every dispatch. GSTIN 24AGLPC6288M1ZX.
Drashti Chemicals supplies food-grade calcium propionate from Vadodara with batch COA. Name food grade, target assay (typically high purity calcium propionate basis), pack, and monthly kg on the RFQ — we do not publish ₹/kg online.
Role in bakery — what propionate does and does not do
It extends mould-free shelf life in bread and some baked goods by suppressing mould growth — it does not fix bad cooling, dirty slicers, or high water activity from recipe errors.
Dosage is formulation-specific and regulation-bound — your technologist sets grams per 100 kg flour; procurement’s job is consistent food-grade assay and traceable lots.
COA parameters to mirror on the PO
Assay (as calcium propionate or equivalent), loss on drying, heavy metals per your export sheet, microbiology if required, and lot number matching dispatch.
Compare apples to apples: some COAs express on anhydrous basis; align with your incumbent supplier before annual contract.
Packing, handling and premix discipline
Typical supply is bagged powder — keep pallets dry in monsoon, FIFO rotation like other hygroscopic food powders. Premix plants should verify mesh and flow against silo equipment.
Consolidate with liquid glucose, maltodextrin or food acids on one food-grade truck from Vadodara when volumes align.
Grade mistakes vs sodium propionate
Calcium propionate and sodium propionate are different salts with different label and formulation math — do not substitute on price without technologist sign-off.
Industrial-grade propionate belongs in non-food channels only; bakery POs should always say food grade explicitly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is calcium propionate the same as baking powder?
No — propionate is a preservative/mould inhibitor; baking powder is a leavening system. Different SKUs and COA expectations.
What assay should I ask for on the RFQ?
Match your incumbent COA or internal spec — state minimum assay and basis (dry/anhydrous) so quotes align.
Can I use industrial propionate in bread?
Food production should use food-grade with COA limits your QA accepts — industrial grade is not a silent substitute.
Does every bag ship with COA?
Batch COA and MSDS with supply from Vadodara — request a sample COA when qualifying a new vendor.
