So, what is parahydroxybenzoate de propyle?

Parahydroxybenzoate de propyle, also known as propylparaben, is a food preservative commonly used to extend the shelf life of products. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, preventing spoilage and maintaining freshness. Propylparaben is considered safe for consumption in small amounts by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EFSA. However, some studies suggest that it may have hormone-disrupting effects when consumed in large quantities. Overall, propylparaben is a versatile ingredient that helps keep our food fresh for longer periods of time.
