Chemical Name: | Potassium sorbate |
Molecular Formula: | C6H7KO2 |
Molecular Weight: | 150.22 |
Properties: | White crystal or crystalline granule We can also supply powder form |
Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of Sorbic Acid, chemical formula C6H7KO2. Its primary use is as a food preservative.
Potassium sorbate is effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal care products.
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.

Potassium Sorbate Function
Potassium Sorbate can effectively restrain the mold, yeast and oxygen activity of bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and other harmful microorganism growth and reproduction, but for anaerobic bacillus bacteria and lactobacillus acidophilus beneficial microbes such as null and void, almost against the effect of development was stronger than the sterilization effect, so as to effectively prolong food to save time, and keep the original flavor of food
