Discover the benefits of potassium sorbate, scientifically known as potassium 2,4-hexadienoate. This exceptional preservative is the potassium salt derivative of sorbic acid, identified by its formula C6H7O2K. It appears as white to light yellow scale crystals, crystal particles, or powdered crystals, and is noted for being odorless or possessing a faint scent. While it absorbs moisture when exposed to air for extended periods, it is water-soluble and also dissolves in propylene glycol and ethanol. Its primary function is that of a preservative, shielding your products from spoilage with reliability.
Potassium sorbate serves as a premier food preservative, finding extensive applications across the food and feed processing industries. Additionally, it is utilized in cosmetics, resins, spices, and rubber industries, yet its most significant impact remains in the realms of food preservation and feed.
