Dessert Additive Potassium Sorbate

Potassium sorbate, the potassium salt of sorbic acid, white to light yellow scaly crystals, crystal granules or crystal powder, odourless or slightly odorous, easily absorbed by moisture and discoloured by oxidation when exposed to air for a long time. Soluble in water, soluble in propylene glycol and ethanol. It is often used as a preservative, destroying many enzyme systems by binding to the sulfhydryl groups of microbial enzyme systems. Potassium sorbate is fully preservative in acidic media and less so in neutral conditions.

Potassium sorbate can effectively inhibit the activity of mold, aerobic bacteria and yeast, and can also prevent the reproduction of microorganisms such as staphylococcus, botulism and salmonella, but it is ineffective against microorganisms such as anaerobic spores and lactobacillus acidophilus Yes, the inhibitory growth effect is stronger than its bactericidal effect, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging the preservation time of food while maintaining the original flavor of food.

Food preservatives: Potassium sorbate is used in many commercially processed foods including canned fruit and vegetables, tinned fish, dried meats and desserts. It is also commonly used in mould-prone dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and ice cream. In short, many foods rely on potassium sorbate and other preservatives for freshness and preservation.
Winemaking: Potassium sorbate is also often used in the production of wine to prevent it from losing its flavour. Without preservatives, red wines can change their flavour during fermentation. In addition, soft drinks, fruit juices and soda pops often use potassium sorbate as a preservative.
Beauty products: In addition to food products, potassium sorbate is also used in a wide range of other industries. Many beauty products that are susceptible to mould and spoilage use this preservative to extend their shelf life. Many products such as shampoos, hairsprays and skin creams contain potassium sorbate.
