Description
1.Description
Potassium sorbate, also known as 2,4-hexadienoate, is the potassium salt of sorbic acid with the molecular formula C6H7O2K. These are white to light yellow scales, like crystals, crystalline particles or crystalline powder, odorless or slightly smelly, easily absorb moisture and change color when exposed to air for a long time. Easily soluble in water, soluble in propylene glycol and ethanol. It is often used as a preservative. It destroys many enzyme systems by combining with the sulfhydryl group of microbial enzyme systems. Its toxicity is much lower than other preservatives and it is widely used.

3.advantage
Food grade potassium sorbate is primarily used to inhibit microbial growth in foods.
In daily life, it can be used to prevent mold on soybeans, wine, food vinegar and salted vegetables. Just by adding 0.1 percent to them, you will find that they taste better.
When freezing and cold storing food, especially fish and shrimp, soak them in a solution of potassium sorbate.(0.3%) for 30 seconds they retain their original and individual taste.
Adding potassium sorbate to artificial cream and salad oil can prevent sourness and blistering due to fermentation.
If you add potassium sorbate to baked goods, biscuits and bread, they will taste even better!
Meat to which potassium sorbate has been added can be stored for more than a week than before.
Food grade potassium sorbatealso used in cosmetics, medical products and tobacco preservatives. As an unsaturated acid, it is also used in
resins,spice and rubber industry.
