Sorbic Acid

Sorbic Acid is a widely used, food-grade preservative known for its ability to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and bacteria in a broad range of food and beverage products. Odorless and tasteless at effective concentrations, it helps preserve freshness, extend shelf life, and ensure the microbiological safety of products without altering their flavor or appearance. Sorbic Acid is often used directly or in the form of its more water-soluble salt, potassium sorbate, for ease of formulation in aqueous systems.

Key Benefits and Uses of Sorbic Acid:

• Prevents Microbial Growth
  Effectively controls the development of spoilage organisms and pathogens in food products.

  Maintains product freshness while preserving original flavor and aroma.

• Safe and Efficient at Low Concentrations
  Delivers broad-spectrum preservation without the need for harsh additives.

• Flexible Formulation Options
  Can be used in dry blends or converted to potassium sorbate for solubility in liquids.
