Product Description
1. Potassium
sorbate is the potassium salt of Sorbic Acid, chemical formula C6H7KO2. Its
primary use is as a food preservative (E number 202). Potassium sorbate is
effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal
care products.
2. Potassium sorbate is produced by reacting sorbic acid with an equimolar
portion of potassium hydroxide. The resulting potassium sorbate may be
crystallized from aqueous ethanol.
3. Potassium sorbate is used to inhibit molds and yeasts in many foods, such
as cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meats, apple cider, soft drinks and fruit
drinks, and baked goods. It can also be found in the ingredients list of many
dried fruit products. In addition, herbal dietary supplement products generally
contain potassium sorbate, which acts to prevent mold and microbes and to
increase shelf life, and is used in quantities at which there are no known
adverse health effects, over short periods of time.
4. Potassium sorbate as a food preservative is an acidic preservative combined
with an organic acid to improve the antiseptic reaction effect. It is
prepared by using potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide and sorbic acid
as raw materials.Sorbic acid (potassium) can effectively inhibit the activity
of molds, yeasts and aerobic bacteria, thereby effectively extending the
preservation time of the food and maintaining the flavor of the original
food.
