The product we are introducing is Factory Supply Potassium Sorbate CAS 590 - 00 - 1 With Good Price. Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt of sorbic acid. Its chemical formula is C₆H₇KO₂.
It appears as a white to off - white crystalline powder or granules. It has a slightly characteristic odor. The molecular weight of potassium sorbate is approximately 150.22 g/mol. This product is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of about 58.2 g/100 mL at 20 °C. It is also soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol to some extent.
Potassium sorbate is widely used as a preservative in various industries. In the food industry, it is one of the most commonly used food preservatives. It can inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and some bacteria, thereby extending the shelf - life of food products. It is used in a variety of food items such as dairy products, bakery products, beverages, and meat products. For example, in yogurt, it helps prevent spoilage caused by microbial growth, keeping the yogurt fresh and safe for consumption over a longer period.
In the cosmetic and personal care industry, potassium sorbate is used to prevent the growth of microorganisms in products like lotions, creams, shampoos, and soaps. This ensures the safety and quality of these products during their shelf - life and use by consumers. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a preservative in some liquid medications and topical preparations to maintain their stability and prevent contamination.
When using potassium sorbate as a food preservative, it should be added at an appropriate stage during the food production process. For solid food products, it can be mixed directly into the ingredients during the mixing or blending stage. For liquid food products, it can be dissolved in a small amount of water first and then added to the liquid. The dosage usually depends on the type of food and the expected shelf - life. In general, the usage level in food products ranges from 0.02% to 0.3% (w/w). However, it is important to comply with the relevant national and international food safety regulations regarding the maximum allowable usage levels.
In cosmetic and personal care products, potassium sorbate is usually added during the cooling stage of the manufacturing process. The typical usage level in these products is around 0.1% - 0.5% (w/w). In pharmaceutical products, the usage is determined according to the specific formulation requirements and regulatory guidelines.
Case 1: A bakery company was facing a problem with mold growth on their bread products within a short period after production. They decided to use potassium sorbate as a preservative. By adding 0.15% (w/w) of potassium sorbate to the bread dough during the mixing process, they were able to extend the shelf - life of their bread from 3 days to 7 days without any visible mold growth. This not only reduced product waste but also increased customer satisfaction as the bread remained fresh for a longer time.
Case 2: A cosmetic manufacturer was producing a natural - based lotion. They were concerned about the growth of bacteria and fungi in the product, which could lead to spoilage and a bad odor. They added 0.3% (w/w) of potassium sorbate to the lotion during the cooling stage of production. After conducting stability tests, they found that the lotion remained free from microbial contamination for more than 6 months, ensuring the product's quality and safety for consumers.
