Product Description

What is Sorbic Acid ?

Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring compound that's become the most commonly used food preservative in the world, and it makes the global food chain possible. It's highly effective at inhibiting the growth of mold, which can spoil food and spread fatal diseases.
Sorbic acid is a short-chained unsaturated (has double bonds) fatty acid. Its iupac name is 2,4 hexadienoic acid and its chemical formula is C6H8O2. It has a carboxylic tail which has a pKa of 4.76. Its melting and boiling points are 136 and 228 degrees Celsius, respectively. It is commonly used by the food industry as a preservative because its mineral salts have antimicrobial properties in acidic solutions. Its undissociated form is several degrees more antimicrobial then its dissociated form and is a function of pH, yet both have antimicrobial properties. It is particularly effective against fungi and has the advantage of not diminishing overtime. Generally, a fungistatic dose in the presence of ethanol and sulfur is roughly 200 mg/L. It can also be used to remove mineral deposits. Sorbic acid by itself has subtle sensory characteristics, but a portion of the population finds it particularly offensive.
