Product Overview & Features

Bifunctional short-chain fatty acids synthesized for feed antifungal and pharmaceutical purposes

Propionic acid (propanoic acid), is miscible with solvents such as water and ethanol. Propionic acid has dual application value in both feed and medicine. In the field of feed, propionic acid and its salts are important feed anti-mold preservatives. They have a good inhibitory effect on mold and aerobic bacteria. They can effectively prevent feed heating, caking, nutrient loss and mycotoxin production, and significantly extend the shelf life of feed. In the field of medicine, propionic acid is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, and its derivatives can be used to produce vitamin B6, naproxen, naomaining and other drugs. Propionic acid itself has a weak inhibitory effect on fungal growth both in vivo and in vitro, and can be used for the treatment of dermatophytes.

Product Applications

Feed Mildew Proof

It has a good inhibitory effect on mold and aerobic bacteria, prevents feed heating, caking and nutrient loss, protects the original nutritional value of feed and avoids mycotoxin contamination.

Silage Preservation

As a silage additive, it inhibits the growth of yeast and mold, prevents aerobic spoilage of silage and secondary fermentation after pit opening, and reduces nutrient loss.

Pharmaceutical Synthesis

It is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, and its derivatives can be used to produce vitamin B6, naproxen, naomaining and other drugs, and have wide application value in the pharmaceutical industry.

Antibacterial Application

It has a weak inhibitory effect on fungal growth both in vivo and in vitro, and can be used for the treatment of dermatophytes. It is often formulated with zinc undecylenate and other compound preparations for external use.
