  Disposable masks are designed to be worn once and then discarded. They are made from lightweight materials, such as paper or synthetic fibers, and are usually held in place with ear loops. Disposable masks are often used in medical settings to protect both healthcare workers and patients from the spread of infectious diseases. They are also commonly used by the general public during times of high viral transmission, such as during a pandemic. On the other hand, reusable masks are designed to be worn multiple times, and are usually made from more durable materials, such as cotton, polyester, or other types of fabric. They can be washed and reused multiple times, which makes them a more environmentally-friendly option compared to disposable masks. Reusable masks also often have adjustable ear loops or ties for a more secure fit and may have additional features such as a nose wire to help them stay in place. Both disposable and reusable masks can be effective at preventing the spread of

  Sodium propionate is the sodium salt of propionic acid, with the chemical formula NaC3H5O2. It is a white crystalline solid that is commonly used as a food preservative, as well as in pharmaceuticals and animal feed. Sodium propionate inhibits the growth of mold and some bacteria in baked goods, dairy products, and other foods. In addition to its use as a food preservative, sodium propionate has also been studied for its potential as a treatment for metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Some studies have suggested that it may have beneficial effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, although more research is needed to fully understand its potential as a therapeutic agent. Key companies covered as a part of this study include Prathista Industries Ltd, Fine Organic Industries Private Limited, Niacet Corporation, Macco Organiques Inc., Foodchem International Corporation, Tengzhou Tenglong Chemical Co. Ltd., and Dr. Paul Lohmann GmbH KG The sodium propionate market is
