PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
1. Chemical Name: Potassium sorbate
2. Name: F - (2, 4) - potassium acid
3. CAS: 24634-61-5
4. Chemical: C6H7KO2
5. Molar mass: 150.22
6. Melting: 270 ℃
7. Character:
It's colorless to white flaky crystal or crystalline powder, odorless or slight odor. Instability in the air can be oxidized coloring, hygroscopic, and soluble in water and ethanol. Mainly used as food preservatives, preservatives are acidic. Can effectively inhibit molds, yeasts and bacteria in aerobic activity, so as to effectively prolong the food preservation time, and maintain the original flavor of food.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store in clean, cool, dry and sealed condition.
APPLICATION
Food Processing
Potassium sorbate is widely used as a food preservative. In 1982, China approved its use and promulgated the standard, which stipulated that the allowable concentration of flour products, pickles, canned food, dried fruits, dairy products and condiments was 0.02% ~ 0.1%. Adding 1% potassium sorbate to meat products can obviously inhibit the production of Clostridium botulinum toxin. FAO sets a series of standards for food, which clearly stipulates that the maximum dosage of potassium sorbate is 0.28/kg.
Animal Feed
Potassium sorbate can inhibit the growth of mold in feed, especially inhibit the formation of aflatoxin, so adding potassium sorbate can effectively avoid the spoilage of feed, and can still resist the growth of microorganisms in animal intestines. Feed is prone to spoilage during storage, transportation and sales, so the application market of potassium sorbate in feed industry is huge.
