Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate
Potassium Sorbate can be used as preservatives. As a high-effective preservative recommended by FAO and WHO, Potassium Sorbate can inhibit the activity of fungus, yeast and aerobic bacterium, and prevent the growth and reproduction of botulinum, staphylococcus, salmonella and other harmful microorganisms. Moreover, it has no effect to beneficial microorganisms, such as anaerobic bacillus and acidophilus lactobacillus. Having a stronger inhibition effect than sterilization effect, it can effectively prolong the preservation time of the food without changing the original flavor. The antisepsis effect of Potassium Sorbate is 5-10 times as much as that of sodium benzoate. It is widely used in food, beverages, tobacco, pesticides, cosmetics and other industries. As an unsaturated acid, it also can be used for resins, spices and rubber industry. Potassium Sorbate is a vital product of our food additives and food ingredients. And our company is a high-quality Potassium Sorbate supplier in China.
