Description
Potassium sorbate is mainly used as food preservative, and also used for cosmetic preservation and feed mildew prevention. It has a strong inhibitory effect on spoilage bacteria and mold, and is easily soluble in water and is widely used. Its antibacterial growth effect is stronger than bactericidal effect, the lower the pH value, the stronger the antibacterial effect. Sorbic acid (potassium) can effectively inhibit the activity of mold, yeast and aerobic bacteria, and can also prevent the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms such as botulinum, staphylococcus, salmonella, etc. Lactobacillus and other beneficial microorganisms are almost ineffective, and their growth inhibition effect is stronger than bactericidal effect, so as to effectively prolong the preservation time of food and maintain the original flavor of food. Its antiseptic effect is 5-10 times that of similar products sodium benzoate.
