Potassium Sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, a natural compound first isolated from rowanberries. This white crystalline powder or granules serves as one of the most effective and widely used preservatives in the food industry. With its excellent antimicrobial properties against molds, yeasts, and fungi, potassium sorbate extends product shelf life while maintaining taste and nutritional quality. Its effectiveness in a wide pH range (up to pH 6.5) makes it particularly valuable for preserving low-acid foods that cannot be protected by traditional acid-dependent preservatives.
