Color: White to light yellow scaly crystals, crystal particles or crystal powder

Application:

1. Animal Feed Industry

Both the United States and the European Union use potassium sorbate as a legal feed additive for animal feed. Potassium sorbate can be easily digested as a feed ingredient without any adverse effects on animals. Feed is prone to spoilage during storage, transportation and sales, so the application market of potassium sorbate in the feed industry is huge.

2. Food containers and packaging materials

Potassium sorbate can be directly added, impregnated, sprayed or sprayed with dry powder. At the same time, there are many flexible ways to deal with packaging materials. In terms of development trend, because the characteristics of potassium sorbate are equal to natural products, the application range and usage amount are still large.

3. Food Preservatives

Potassium sorbate is widely used as a food preservative. It is stipulated that the allowable concentration in noodle products, pickles, canned food, dried fruits, dairy products and condiments is 0.02% to 0.1%. Adding 1% potassium sorbate to meat products can significantly inhibit the production of Clostridium botulinum toxin. At the same time, sorbic acid is widely used in low-alcohol wine such as fruit wine, beer and wine, and has an ideal antiseptic effect.

4. Applications in Vegetables and Fruits

If potassium sorbate preservative is used on the surface of vegetables and fruits, it can be stored for a month at a temperature as high as 30°C, and the greenness of vegetables and fruits will not change.

5. Application in Meat Products

Smoked ham, dried sausages, jerky and similar other dried meat products are briefly soaked in a solution of potassium sorbate of appropriate concentration to achieve antiseptic preservation.
