Product Technical Info

Potassium Sorbate 5kg

1.0 Introduction

This header page serves to summarise product information for the named ingredient. Additional and detailed information is attached and should be read in conjunction with this summary of information.

Potassium Sorbate and Sorbic Acid are effective against yeast and mould, but have little activity against bacteria. Sorbic Acid is often used in bakery applications. However Sorbic Acid is very difficult to dissolve in water while Potassium Sorbate is readily soluble, and is therefore more commonly used. Potassium Sorbate needs to be used in slightly acid conditions (ideally below pH 5.5) to allow it to dissociate into Sorbic Acid and have the desired effect.
