Microbial Inhibitor Dairy Products CAS NO.24634-61-5

Potassium sorbate has the chemical formula C6H7KO2. It is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Potassium sorbate is primarily employed as a preservative in the food industry. It helps inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and certain bacteria, thus extending the shelf life of various food products. 

Potassium sorbate is more effective at lower pH levels, making it suitable for use in acidic products. In its recommended usage levels, potassium sorbate is typically odorless and tasteless, ensuring that it does not affect the sensory qualities of the treated food products.

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity: Potassium sorbate exhibits effective antimicrobial properties against a wide range of microorganisms, including molds, yeasts, and certain bacteria. It helps prevent spoilage and extends the shelf life of food products.

Water Solubility: Potassium sorbate is highly water-soluble, which makes it suitable for use in liquid and aqueous food products. It can be easily incorporated into formulations without affecting the product's texture or appearance.

pH Stability: While potassium sorbate is more effective in acidic conditions, it remains stable across a range of pH levels. It is particularly useful in acidic food products, such as fruit juices, salad dressings, and carbonated beverages.

Potassium Sorbate enjoys broad acceptance as a safe food additive, sanctioned for food use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and compliant with various international food safety regulations. It is commonly employed in food processing for its antimicrobial properties, including applications in fruit juice, jam, sauce, yogurt, canned vegetables, meat products, and other food items.
