What is Potassium Sorbate?
Potassium Sorbate is derived from sorbic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in some fruits. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder or granules. It’s odourless and possesses a slightly salty taste. This lack of colour, taste, and odour makes it a popular choice for food preservation since it doesn’t significantly alter the sensory qualities of a food product. Additionally, its stability and solubility in water makes it easy to incorporate into various food and beverage formulations.
