PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, derived from the berries of the rowan tree. It appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder. In the food industry, it is primarily used to extend the shelf life of products, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and maintain acidity. In cosmetics, it protects products from mold and helps prolong their durability. It is harmless to the human body, as it is easily metabolized into water and carbon dioxide. Additionally, it is skin-compatible and has a low environmental impact. For optimal preservation, it is recommended to combine it with other preservatives, such as sodium benzoate.
