Product Description

                                                POTASSIUM SORBATE

Potassium sorbate is a white crystalline powder or granular substance with a mild odor. It is soluble in water and slightly soluble
in alcohol. As a food preservative, potassium sorbate is effective against a wide spectrum of microorganisms, including molds,
yeasts, and bacteria. It inhibits their growth by interfering with their cellular membrane function, thereby extending the shelf life
of various food products. Potassium sorbate is stable under normal conditions of use and storage, but can degrade if exposed
to high temperatures or prolonged sunlight. It is commonly used in food and beverage applications, such as in cheese, wine,
baked goods, and fruit preserves, as well as in personal care products like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Potassium sorbate, also known as potassium salt of sorbic acid, finds extensive application in food preservation due to its ability
to inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and fungi. It is commonly used in a variety of food and beverage products such as cheese,
wine, baked goods, and dried fruits to extend shelf life by preventing spoilage. Potassium sorbate works by interfering with the
cell membrane of microorganisms, thereby preventing their growth and reproduction without affecting taste or color of the food.
Beyond food, it is also utilized in personal care products like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as a preservative to maintain product
stability and safety. Its effectiveness, safety, and versatility have made potassium sorbate a crucial ingredient in the preservation
and maintenance of quality in numerous consumer products worldwide.
