Sorbic Acid

Food Chemical And Additives Sorbic Acid

Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound commonly used as a preservative in the food and beverage industry. It is highly effective in inhibiting the growth of molds, yeasts, and certain bacteria, which helps extend the shelf life of a wide range of food products, including baked goods, dairy items, and sauces. Sorbic acid is favored for its ability to prevent spoilage without altering the taste, aroma, or texture of the treated foods. Its safety and efficacy have made it a popular choice for food manufacturers seeking a reliable method to maintain product freshness and quality.

Sorbic Acid, E200, CAS no.110-44-1, food preservative, manufacturing process via chemical synthesis, malonic acid and trans-butenal as raw materials, also can be produced from isomeric hexadecenoic acids. Sorbic acid is used in it's salt forms (sodium sorbate, Potassium sorbate, and calcium sorbate) as a preservative in the production of drinks and food to prevent the growth of any mold, yeast, and fungi. It can be used to preserve wines, beverages, soy sauces, picked products, seafood, and meat products. The preservative efficiency of Sorbic Acid is 5-10 times the effectiveness of Sodium benzoate.

Sorbic acid is a new, safe, nontoxic and effective food preservative. It is unsaturated fatty acid. It can participate in normal metabolism and finally be oxidized to water and carbon dioxide, does not accumulate in the human body and has high safety. Its toxicity is only half of salt, 1/ 40 of sodium benzoate. Food grade sorbic acid has been approved of using in worldwide and successfully used in the food industry in many ways. It has obvious inhibition of molds, yeasts and aerobic bacteria, whose effect on inhibit the growth of bacteria is stronger than the effect on destroy bacteria. It combines with sulfhydryl group in microbial enzyme system to destroy the role of enzymes, so that achieve the purposes of bacteriostasis and antisepsis. It also can prevent from the growth and breeding of botox, staphylococcus and salmonella and other harmful microorganisms. Under acidic conditions (pH value less than 5-6), the effect of bacteriostasis is better, and the food composition has no any impact of preservative effect, so it effectively extends the storage time of food and keep the original flavor of food. However, there is no effect on anaerobic bacteria Bacillus and Lactobacillus acidophilus and other beneficial micro-organisms.
