       Potassium Sorbate E202 can be used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry. Potassium sorbate E202 is used to inhibit molds and yeasts in many food application, such as in cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meats, apple cider, soft drinks, fruit drinks, and baked goods.

Product Description:

White to light yellow scaly crystals, crystalline powder, or granular. Odorless or slightly odorous. Long-term storage in the air, easy to absorb moisture and oxidative decomposition and coloring. Relative density (d2025): 1.363. Melting point 270 °c (decomposition). Soluble in water (67.6g/100ml, 20 °C), 5% salt water (47.5g/100ml, room temperature), 25% sugar water (5Chemicalbooklg/100ml, room temperature). Soluble in propylene glycol (5.8g/100m1), ethanol (0.3g/100m1). The pH value of 1% aqueous solution is 7~8. It has a strong effect of inhibiting spoilage bacteria and mold, and because the toxicity is far lower than other preservatives, it has become the world's main preservative. Under acidic conditions, it can give full play to the antiseptic effect, and the effect is very low when neutral.

What It's Used For

Yogurt,Cheese,Wine,Dips,Pickles,Dried meats,Soft drinks,Baked goods,Ice cream

Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative in a number of foods, since its anti-microbial properties stop the growth and spread of harmful bacteria and molds. It is used in cheese, baked goods, syrups and jams. It is also used as a preservative for dehydrated foods like jerky and dried fruit, as it does not leave an aftertaste. The use of potassium sorbate increases the shelf life of foods, so many dietary supplements also include it. It is commonly used in wine production because it stops the yeast from continuing to ferment in the bottles.

Food Preservative: Potassium sorbate is used particularly in foods that are stored at room temperature or that are precooked, such as canned fruits and vegetables, canned fish, dried meat, and desserts. It's also commonly used in food that is prone to mold growth, such as dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. Many foods that are not fresh rely on potassium sorbate and other preservatives to keep them from spoiling. In general, potassium sorbate in food is very common.
Winemaking: Potassium sorbate is also commonly used in winemaking, to prevent wine from losing its flavor. Without a preservative, the fermentation process in wine would continue and cause the flavor to change. Soft drinks, juices, and sodas also often use potassium sorbate as a preservative.
Beauty Products: While the chemical is common in food, there are many other potassium sorbate uses. Many beauty products are also prone to mold growth and use the preservative to extend the life of skin and haircare products. It is very likely that your shampoo, hair spray, or skin cream contains potassium sorbate.
