Abstract

BACKGROUND: Propionic acid is a widely used preservative and has been mainly formed by artificial synthesis or fermentation. In the case of natural products, the presence of propionic acid is viewed as a sign that an additive has been introduced for antimicrobial effects.

METHODS: In this work, the propionic acid that occurs in

RESULTS: The detection rate for all samples was 94.0%. The average concentration was 0.41 ± 0.24 mg/g from the China sample and 0.76 ± 0.28 mg/g from the Korea sample.

CONCLUSION: This study is the first to report that propionic acid exists in
