Potassium sorbate, scientifically known as potassium 2,4-hexadienoate, stands as the potassium salt of sorbic acid. With a precise molecular formula of C6H7O2K, it graces us in forms ranging from white to light yellow scale crystals, through crystal particles, to crystal powder. This preservative is odorless or carries a mild scent, and when exposed to air over time, it invites moisture, leading to oxidization and color change. Impressively soluble in water, propylene glycol, and ethanol, potassium sorbate is a staple in the preservation world.
Embraced by the food and feed processing industries, potassium sorbate also finds its niche in cosmetics, resins, spices, and rubber sectors. However, its renown lies in the realm of food preservation and feed, where it acts as a barrier against spoilage and decay.
