Popeza zimaletsa kagayidwe ka tizilombo toyambitsa matenda komanso kupanga mycotoxins, mankhwala oletsa mildew amatha kuchepetsa zotsatira za mankhwala ndi kutayika kwa michere yomwe imabwera chifukwa cha zifukwa zosiyanasiyana monga kutentha kwambiri komanso chinyezi chachikulu panthawi yosungira chakudya.Kashiamu propionate, monga choletsa matenda a mildew, imatha kulimbikitsa kuberekana kwa tizilombo topindulitsa ndikuletsa kuberekana kwa kachilombo koopsa ndi nkhungu. Ikawonjezeredwa ku silage, imatha kuletsa kukula kwa nkhungu, kukonza bwino mtundu wa silage ndikukwaniritsa cholinga chosunga zatsopano.

Kashiamu propionatendi mankhwala ophera tizilombo toyambitsa matenda otetezeka komanso odalirika omwe amaperekedwa pa chakudya ndi chakudya chovomerezeka ndi World Health Organization (WHO) ndi Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Calcium propionate imatha kuyamwa ndi anthu ndi nyama kudzera mu kagayidwe kachakudya, ndikupereka calcium yofunikira kwa anthu ndi nyama. Imaonedwa kuti ndi GRAS.

Kashiamu propionateZimathandizira kuyamwa kwa michere m'zakudya ndikuwonjezera kuchuluka kwa zakudya, zimasintha pH ya m'mimba mwa ziweto ndi nkhuku, zimalimbikitsa kukula kwa mabakiteriya opindulitsa monga mabakiteriya a lactic acid, zimathandizira ntchito ya ma enzymes ogaya chakudya monga pepsin ndikulimbikitsa kugaya ndi kuyamwa kwa michere.

Kashiamu propionateKungateteze chakudya chobiriwira ku bowa panthawi yosungira, kuonjezera kukoma kwa ziweto ku chakudya ndikuwonjezera kuchuluka kwa mapuloteni omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu chakudya. Kumbali imodzi, mkaka wothira calcium propionate umathandiza kupanga ma acid amafuta afupiafupi mu mkaka ndikuwonjezera kuchuluka kwa mafuta a mkaka mu mkaka; Kumbali ina, kumathandiza kukula, kugaya ndi kugaya zakudya m'mimba komanso kuwonjezeka kwa kupanga mkaka kwa ng'ombe za mkaka. Kuyesa kudyetsa ng'ombe za mkaka ndi udzu wa chimanga wotetezedwa ndicalcium propionatezikusonyeza kuti chakudyacho chili ndi kuola kochepa, kapangidwe kofewa, kukoma kokoma, komanso ng'ombe za mkaka zimakonda kudya, zomwe zingathandize kuti mkaka ubereke bwino komanso kuti ng'ombe za mkaka ziwonjezeke mafuta.
