Potassium Sorbate, or potassium 2,4-hexadienoate, stands out as the potassium salt of sorbic acid, boasting a molecular formula of C6H7O2K. Appearing as white to light yellow scale crystals, crystal particles, or powder, this compound is mostly odorless, sometimes with a faint scent. Over time, exposure to air can cause it to absorb moisture, resulting in oxidation and color change. It dissolves easily in water and can also mix with propylene glycol and ethanol, making it a staple as a preservative across various industries.
Potassium Sorbate is a versatile preservative, predominantly utilized in food and feed processing sectors. Its reach extends to cosmetics, resins, spices, and rubber industries, with its principal application being in food preservation and feed maintenance, effectively enhancing the shelf life and integrity of products.
