Poletsa kagayidwe kake ka tizilombo toyambitsa matenda komanso kupanga ma mycotoxins, anti mildew agents amatha kuchepetsa kukhudzidwa kwa mankhwala komanso kutayika kwa michere komwe kumadza chifukwa chazifukwa zosiyanasiyana monga kutentha kwambiri komanso chinyezi chambiri posungira chakudya.Calcium propionate, monga chakudya mildew inhibitor, akhoza kulimbikitsa kuberekana kwa tizilombo tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono tating'onoting'ono ta tizilombo toyambitsa matenda komanso kulepheretsa kuberekana kwa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda ndi nkhungu. Akawonjezeredwa ku silage, amatha kulepheretsa kukula kwa nkhungu, kupititsa patsogolo ubwino wa silage ndi kukwaniritsa cholinga chosunga mwatsopano.

Calcium propionatendi mankhwala otetezeka komanso odalirika a antifungal pazakudya ndi chakudya omwe amavomerezedwa ndi World Health Organisation (WHO) ndi Food and Agriculture Organisation ya United Nations (FAO). Calcium propionate imatha kuyamwa ndi anthu ndi nyama kudzera mu metabolism, ndikupereka calcium yofunikira kwa anthu ndi nyama. Imawerengedwa kuti ndi GRAS.

Calcium propionateamalimbikitsa kuyamwa kwa michere ya chakudya ndikuwongolera thanzi, amasintha pH mtengo wamagulu am'mimba a ziweto ndi nkhuku, amalimbikitsa kukula kwa mabakiteriya opindulitsa monga mabakiteriya a lactic acid, kusintha magwiridwe antchito am'mimba monga pepsin ndikulimbikitsa chimbudzi ndi kuyamwa kwa michere.

Calcium propionateZitha kulepheretsa kuti chakudya chobiriwira chisawonongedwe ndi nkhungu pa nthawi yosungira, kumapangitsa kuti ziweto zisamve bwino pa chakudya komanso kuti mapuloteni azigwiritsidwa ntchito pazakudya. Kumbali imodzi, silage ya mkaka yopangidwa ndi calcium propionate imathandizira kupanga mafuta acids amfupi mu mkaka ndikuwongolera kuchuluka kwa mafuta amkaka amkaka; Kumbali ina, imathandizira kukula, kugayidwa ndi kugayidwa kwa zakudya m'matumbo ndi kuchuluka kwa mkaka wa ng'ombe za mkaka. Kuyesera kudyetsa ng'ombe za mkaka ndi silage chimanga udzu wotetezedwa ndicalcium propionateZimasonyeza kuti chakudyacho chimakhala ndi zowola zochepa, zofewa, zimakoma bwino, ndipo ng'ombe za mkaka zimakonda kudya, zomwe zingathandize kuti ng'ombe za mkaka zikhale zokolola zambiri komanso mafuta a mkaka.
