Tuesday 10 at 10: Potassium sorbate, shelf life and more!

This Tuesday morning, Richard tackles the topic of shelf life, offering actionable tips and advice.
Today's topics include:
I have tried calcium and increased the dose up to 0.5% but my bread gets spoiled before 5 days. What may be the cause? I have used 250 grams of calcium.
Hi, I want to know if I can use potassium sorbate in a cream puff filling where I add in fresh milk. Whenever I make it, I always have to chill it because I'm afraid it will go bad easily. If I can add it to my filling, what how percentage is allowed? Do I still have to chill it?
I want to make a dough for my dumpling wrappers. I want to follow the steps but excess water during gelatinization will make it a slurry and not dough. How can I avoid that?
Any suggestions on the best preservative for crackers for prevention of fungal growth, discoloration, that helps the texture and prolongs the shelf life?
How can I use sodium and calcium in cake? Also, how much to a pound of flour?
