NaturejamCalcium Propionate Powder for Baking 1 Pound Bulk Bag

Q: How do I know what I am getting? I need calcium propionate but this says or sodium?

I had the same issue. My research said Calcium propionate is better for bread and sodium for cakes. The research said that sodium propionate interferes with raising. I needed it for bread. I assume I got sodium. My bread does not rise as well as before but 1 teaspoon in my bread does stop the mold.

Q: Will this keep bread soft as well? Or just keep mold away?

It made no difference in my GF bread except cut down on the mold. Randy

Q: what is the legal limit I can use of this in food?

Legally there is no limit but good practice within the baking industry would suggest .5% or less by weight. For example no more than 5 gm per kilogram of flour.

Q: How much do i put in for two loaves bread?

I read that 0.1% of the weight of the flour should be used. I weighed one cup of flour to be about 125 grams. So I decided on 125 milligrams. If you use 3 cups of flour for a loaf, 0.375 grams of calcium propionate would suffice. One eighth of a teaspoon of it weighed about 0.37 grams. So for two loaves you could use 1/4 teaspoon. I decided to use less though. So I use 1/8 teaspoon for one or two loaves. It seems to work for me.
