Product Description

Product Description

Potassium sorbate, also known as potassium (E,E)-2,4-hexadienoate, is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, with the molecular formula C₆H₇O₂K. It appears as colorless or white flaky crystals or crystalline powder. [1] It is odorless or has a slight odor, and it is prone to hygroscopy, oxidation, and discoloration when exposed to air for extended periods. It is highly soluble in water (58.2g/100mL at 20°C), [7] and it dissolves in propylene glycol (5.8g/100mL) and ethanol (0.3g/10mL). Potassium sorbate and sorbic acid are commonly used organic preservatives, widely applied in the preservation of food, cosmetics, and feed. They are easily absorbed and metabolized by the human body, leaving no residue and posing no toxicity.

Packaging & Shipping

Packaging Requirements
 1. Inner Packaging
- Material: Food-grade polyethylene (PE) bags or aluminum foil bags to ensure moisture-proof and pollution-proof.
- Specifications: Commonly 25kg/bag with double-layer inner sealing; 5kg or 10kg bags for small batches.
2. Outer Packaging
- Types:
- Industrial grade: Kraft paper bags or cardboard drums (lined with PE bags) for pressure and moisture resistance.
- Food-grade/medical grade: Cardboard drums or composite woven bags compliant with FDA and GB 9683 standards, marked with "Food Additive" labels.
 Storage Precautions
 - Environment: Store in a cool, dry warehouse (2-8ºC), away from fire sources, heat, and direct sunlight.
- Stacking: Stack height ≤2m, place pallets at the bottom for moisture protection, keep 30cm distance from walls to prevent caking due to moisture absorption.
- Shelf Life: 2 years unopened; use promptly and reseal after opening.
 

Application

I. Food Industry (Core Application)
 - Beverages: In fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and protein drinks to inhibit molds and yeasts, with typical dosage of 0.05-0.3g/kg (e.g., maximum 0.2g/kg for carbonated drinks).
- Dairy Products & Baked Goods: In yogurt, cheese, bread, and cakes to prevent spoilage, often synergized with nisin, dosage 0.075-0.5g/kg.
- Meat Products & Pickles: In ham, sausages, and pickled vegetables to suppress bacterial growth, commonly combined with salt and sodium nitrite, dosage 0.075-1.0g/kg.
- Condiments: In soy sauce, vinegar, and sauces to control microbial growth, dosage 0.1-0.5g/kg (e.g., maximum 0.5g/kg for soy sauce).
- Confectionery & Preserves: In jellies and candied fruits to extend shelf life, more effective in acidic conditions, dosage 0.05-0.5g/kg.
 II. Cosmetics & Personal Care
 - As a preservative in face creams, shampoos, and lotions to inhibit microbial contamination, typically at ≤0.6% concentration (compliant with cosmetic safety standards).
 III.  Feed
 - Feed Additives: In livestock feed to inhibit molds and enhance stability, dosage 0.1-0.5g/kg.
 IV. Other Fields
 - Industrial Use: As a preservative in water-based systems like glues, pigments, and inks to prevent deterioration.
- Tobacco Industry: In cigarette sheets to inhibit molds and improve storage stability.
 Application Advantages and Precautions
 - Advantages: Highly effective in acidic conditions (pH ≤6.5), low toxicity (ADI 0-25mg/kg), and no impact on food flavor.
- Precautions: Dosage must comply with regulations (e.g., China GB 2760, EU EC No.1333/2008), and avoid mixing with alkaline substances.
