Potassium Sorbate Powder

Pure Food Grade (E202)

1kg Pure Powder Not Granular 

Uses

• Potassium sorbate is used to inhibit molds and yeasts in many foods, such as cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meats, cider, soft drinks, fruit drinks and baked goods.
• It is primarily used as a food preservative with the E number- E202
• Also known as "wine stabilizer", potassium sorbate produces sorbic acid when added to wine. It serves two purposes. When active fermentation has ceased and the wine is racked for the final time after clearing, potassium sorbate will render any surviving yeast incapable of multiplying. Yeast living at that moment can continue fermenting any residual sugar into _Co2 and alcohol, but when they die no new yeast will be present to cause future fermentation. When a wine is sweetened before bottling, potassium sorbate is used to prevent refermentation when used in conjunction with potassium metabisulphite.
• It can also be found in the ingredients list of many dried fruit products.
• Herbal dietary supplement products generally contain potassium sorbate, which acts to prevent mold and microbes and to increase shelf life.
• It is used in many personal care products to inhibit the development of micro organisms for shelf stability.
• It is also used in baits as a preservative. (Fishing bait Boilies)
