Product Benefits

Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid and is a preservative permitted for use in China. Potassium sorbate is an internationally recognized low-toxicity, high-efficiency acid-type food preservative, with the same preservative effect as sorbic acid. However, the structure of sorbic acid is similar to that of fatty acids, and its solubility in water is moderate. When made into potassium sorbate, it can dissolve well in water.

High-efficiency broad-spectrum preservation

Effectively inhibits the growth of molds, yeasts, and various spoilage bacteria, significantly extends the shelf life of food and feed, and ensures product safety.

Safe and reliable

It can be metabolized into carbon dioxide and water in the human body, produces no harmful residues, and is a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food preservative.

High solubility

Compared with sorbic acid, it has higher solubility in water, is convenient to use, and can be evenly dispersed in products without special treatment.

Stable and compatible

It has stable activity within the pH range of 3-6, does not affect the original color, flavor, or taste of food, and can be well formulated with other food additives.
