Abstract: The synthetic conditions of zinc propionate with calcium propionate and zinc sulfate as raw materials were studied. The experimental results showed that optimum conditions were as follows: n (calcium propionate): n(zinc sulfate) = 1. 16: 1, C(calcium propionate) = 1. 075mol/L, C(zincsulfate) = 1. 239mol/Land the reaction time at 80℃ , 40min. Under the above - mentioned conditions, the yield of zinc propionate could reached 93. 6% and the product quality was in accordance with the demands for food industy.
