Capitol Food Company Mold Inhibitors

Capitol Food Company Mold Inhibitors are feed additives that are used to minimize mold contamination and prevent mold growth, thereby minimizing the risk of having mycotoxin-producing molds proliferate in grain or feed. Feed additives commonly used for this purpose include propionic acids and other organic acids. In the baking industry, the most commonly used chemical preservatives to prevent mold spoilage are propionates (calcium or sodium propionate), sorbates (sorbic acid and potassium sorbate), benzoates, parabens (methyl and propyl), and acetic acid.
