Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. It is white to light yellow scaly crystals, crystal particles or crystal powder. It is odorless or slightly smelly. It is easy to absorb moisture and be oxidized and decomposed when exposed to the air for a long time. Easily soluble in water. It is often used as a preservative, which destroys many enzyme systems by combining with the sulfhydryl group of the microbial enzyme system. Its toxicity is much lower than other preservatives and is currently widely used. Potassium sorbate can fully exert its antiseptic effect in acidic medium, and has little antiseptic effect under neutral conditions.
