Preservative

A preservative is a substance or a chemical that is added to products such as food products, beverages, pharmaceutical drugs, paints, biological samples, cosmetics, wood, and many other products to prevent decomposition by microbial growth or by undesirable chemical changes.

Propionic acid

Propionic acid (from the Greek words πρῶτος: prōtos, meaning "first", and πίων: píōn, meaning "fat"; also known as propanoic acid) is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid with chemical formula. Potassium propanoate and Propionic acid are e-number additives.

Salt (chemistry)

In chemistry, a salt or ionic compound is a chemical compound consisting of an assembly of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), which results in a compound with no net electric charge (electrically neutral).
