The invention is novel mold growth inhibiting products for various food stuffs, and a method of making and using the same. The mold growth inhibiting product is generally a mixture of various compounds, including: a first compound which is generally azodicarbonamide, a second compound which is generally lactic acid, fumaric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium sorbate, calcium sorbate, sorbic acid, salts of sorbic acid, calcium propionate, potassium propionate, sodium propionate, propionic acid, salts of propionic acid or mixtures thereof. In a second embodiment of the invention, a third compound is added which lowers the decomposition temperature of the azodicarbonamide. The third embodiment of the invention is a liquid mixture of the above described dry mixtures and water. All embodiments of this invention are added to the food stuff in the same or greater percentages of current day mold inhibitors, yet the resultant food stuff has no off flavor, taste or color which is normally imparted by current day mold inhibitors. Additionally, the food stuffs incorporating the mold inhibiting products of this invention have increased shelf lives as the mold inhibiting products are more effective than current day mold inhibitors. The mold inhibiting products of this invention effectively inhibit mold growth in food stuffs such as corn and wheat tortillas, cream cheese, bagels, fruit fillings, and other baked goods, dairy products and, processed fruit and meat products. |
