Potassium sorbate（Cat No.:R062202）is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, widely used as a food preservative to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and some bacteria, thereby extending product shelf life. Found in foods like cheese, baked goods, dried fruits, and beverages, it is effective at low concentrations and works best in slightly acidic conditions. It dissolves easily in water and is considered safe by regulatory authorities. Due to its stability and neutral taste, potassium sorbate remains a favored choice across numerous food and beverage applications, widely accepted and utilized worldwide.
