SHIELD® — Mold Inhibitor

Cost Effective Liquid Propionic Acid Ingredient

SHIELD® is a liquid antimicrobial that can help extend the shelf life of tortillas and baked goods. The active component in SHIELD is propionic acid, which is a liquid alternative to dry calcium propionate. Propionic acid can help control microbes and prevent spoilage and mold growth in tortillas, baked goods, fillings, and other aqueous foods where water activity level and pH are of concern.

SHIELD products help extend microbial shelf life and provide homogenous dispersion throughout dough, eliminate irritating dust common with dry preservatives, and improve dough handling without affecting final product taste.
