Potassium Sorbate is a high efficiency acid preservative that is widely used in the food and beverage industry to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and other microorganisms. It is a salt that is derived from sorbic acid with Potassium Hydroxide (hydrate), and major components of its production are Crotonaldehyde & Acetic Acid (Please see chart below).
Potassium Sorbate is a highly effective preservative that can extend the shelf life of food and beverages without affecting their taste, texture, or nutritional value. It is commonly used in sausage production, canned foods, beverages, baked goods, dairy products, fruit juices, and many other food items.
In addition to its preservative properties, Potassium Sorbate is also used as a flavor enhancer in certain food products. It can help to enhance the flavor of cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products, as well as certain fruits and vegetables.
Potassium Sorbate is also used in cosmetic and personal care products, such as shampoos, body lotions, and skin creams. It can help to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in these products, thus extending their shelf life and ensuring their safety for use.
