Potassium sorbate
Potassium sorbate is a common ingredient found in many food products. It is a synthetic preservative that helps to prevent the growth of mould, yeast, and bacteria in food. This helps to extend the shelf life of products and keep them fresh for longer.
To make potassium sorbate, certain chemicals are combined in a laboratory setting. These chemicals undergo a specific process to create the potassium sorbate compound. The final product is a fine white powder that is easy to mix into food and drinks.
You may spot potassium sorbate on food labels as a preservative. It is often used in items like sauces, salad dressings, baked goods, and soft drinks. By inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, potassium sorbate helps maintain the quality and safety of these products so that they can be enjoyed by consumers.
