Product Description

 

Product name: Potassium Sorbate
Chemical formula: C6H7KO2
CAS: 590-00-1; 24634-61-5
Product performance:
The production of potassium sorbate adopts special advanced technological route, which solves the shortcomings of the traditional technological route at home and abroad, such as yellowish color and poor color stability. The products of our factory are white in color and good color stability.  Potassium sorbate is stable in the sealed state, easy to absorb water when exposed to moist air, oxidation and coloring.  Potassium sorbate has good thermal stability and decomposition temperature up to 270ºC. 
Potassium sorbate can effectively inhibit mold, yeast and oxygen activity of bacteria, , staphylococcus aureus, salmonella and other harmful microorganism growth and reproduction, but for anaerobic bacillus bacteria and lactobacillus acidophilus beneficial microbes such as null and void, almost against the effect of development was stronger than the sterilization effect, so as to effectively prolong food to save time,  And keep the flavor of the original food.  Its antiseptic effect is 5-10 times that of similar products sodium benzoate. 
At present, it has been widely used in food, beverage, pickles, tobacco, medicine, cosmetics, agricultural products, feed and other industries. From the development trend, its application scope is still expanding. 

 

Application

1)  Mainly used as a preservative in the food industry, it can extend the shelf life of food.
2)  It has good antibacterial effects against mold, aerobic spore producing bacteria, and gram-negative bacteria, and yeast is harmless.
3)  This product can also inhibit the production of aflatoxin and is widely used for mold prevention and preservation of bread, pastries, soy sauce, soy products, jam, and canned foods.
4)  Calculated by propionic acid, the maximum amount of calcium propionate used in wet noodle products (cut noodles, Wonton skin) is 0.25g/kg; The maximum usage in bread, vinegar, soy sauce, pastries, and soy products is 2.5g/kg.
5)  Calcium propionate is also used as a feed preservative;
6)  It can also be used for medicinal purposes, making liquids, powders, ointments, etc;
7)  It also has a good effect on skin diseases caused by mold.
8)  Calcium propionate also has the effect of strengthening calcium, so it can be used to supplement calcium in foods such as bread.
9)  Calcium propionate can also inhibit the reproduction of Bacillus subtilis during dough fermentation. The minimum inhibitory concentration is 0.01% at a pH of 5.0, 0.188% at a pH of 5.8, and the optimal pH should be below 5.5
