There are several types of preservatives that are commonly used in bread making to prolong the shelf life of bread and prevent spoilage. Some of the most common preservatives used in bread making include:

  1. Calcium propionate: This is a commonly used preservative that is added to bread to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
  2. Sorbic acid: This preservative is added to bread to inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and bacteria.
  3. Sodium benzoate: This preservative is added to bread to prevent the growth of yeasts and bacteria.
  4. Potassium sorbate: This preservative is added to bread to prevent the growth of molds, yeasts, and bacteria.
  5. Ascorbic acid: Also known as Vitamin C, this preservative is added to bread dough to improve dough strength and increase the shelf life of the bread.

It's worth noting that many bread makers prefer to avoid the use of preservatives in their bread, opting instead for natural ingredients and methods that produce bread with a shorter shelf life but without the use of chemical additives.

If some of these inhibit the growth of yeast. Doesn't it result in less CO2 production by yeast in the dough, and hence less rise in bread. Then Do we compensate for the less rise by adding other things?
