Potassium sorbate Application exploration from laboratory to industrial production

                                                   Potassium sorbate: Application exploration from laboratory to industrial production

In recent years, with the rapid development of the food industry and the improvement of consumers' requirements for food safety, the preservative potassium sorbate has become a "star product" in the food additive market with its high efficiency and low toxicity. Its application scope continues to expand, market demand grows steadily, and the industry prospects have attracted much attention.

Potassium sorbate is a common organic acid salt preservative that effectively extends the shelf life of food by inhibiting the growth of mold, yeast and aerobic bacteria. Its main application areas include:

1: Food industry: widely used in processed foods such as soy sauce, vinegar, jam, juice, dairy products, baked goods, meat products, etc., especially in the field of beverages and condiments.

2: Cosmetics and daily chemicals: Potassium sorbate is also added to some personal care products such as skin care products and shampoos to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

3: Pharmaceutical industry: used for the preservation of certain drugs to ensure the stability of drugs.

 Since potassium sorbate is metabolized into carbon dioxide and water in the human body, it is safer and is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and food safety agencies of various countries as an efficient and low-toxic preservative, gradually replacing traditional preservatives such as sodium benzoate.
