Application
Potassium sorbate can be added to foods as a preservative to prevent the growth of fungi and moulds. It is colourless, tasteless and cheap, so it is a popular food additive. Uses of potassium sorbate include:
1. Food preservatives: Potassium sorbate is used in many commercially processed foods, including canned fruits and vegetables, canned fish, dried meat, and desserts. It is also used in mildew prone dairy products such as cheese, yogurt and ice cream. In short, many foods rely on potassium sorbitate and other preservatives for freshness and preservation.
2. Winemaking: Potassium sorbate is also often used to make wine to prevent the wine from losing its flavor. Without preservatives, red wine will change its taste during fermentation. In addition, soft drinks, fruit juices and sodas are often used as a preservative.
3. Beauty products: In addition to food, potassium sorbate is also widely used in other industries. Many beauty products that are prone to mildew use this preservative to extend their shelf life. Many products such as shampoos, hairsprays and skin creams contain potassium sorbate.
