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.
