Potassium sorbate (CAS No.:  24634-61-5 )

  Formula: C6H7KO2,F.W.: 150.22,CAS no.: 24634-61-5,NFPA no.:0-0-0,HS code: 2833.2990,Specific Gravity:1.363

white or yellow white crystal or crystalline powder. Potassium sorbate is a polyunsaturated fatty acid salt.
Sorbic Acid (Potassium Sorbate) can restrain effectively the activity of mould, yeast and aerophile bacteria. Restrain growth

and reproduction of the pernicious micro oraganism as pseudomonas, staphylococcus salmonella action to restrain growth is

more powerful than killing. Meanwhile, it can not restrain useful microoraganim growth as Anaerobic spore-bearing bacilli,

acidophil therefore to lengthen food store period and remain food original flavor. The preservative efficiency of sorbic acid

(potassium sorbate) is 5-10 times sodium benzoate.

Application
Potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) is used for food, cosmetic, medical health product and anti-mortify for

tobacco. As unsaturated acid, potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) also used as resin, aromatics and rubber

industry.
Potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) is used to inhibit molds, yeasts, and fungi in many foods, such as cheese,

wine, and baked goods. Potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) is the potassium salt of sorbic acid.
wide application
At the moment, potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) has been used extensively in food, drink, vegetables in soy,

tobacco, drugs, cosmetics, agricultural products, forage and other domain. Application of potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene

acid kalium) should be wide and wide in the world.
As acidic preservative, potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) is also used well in neutral food (ph6.0-6.5). The

preservative efficiency of sodium benzoate will decrease clearly and have a bed taste while PH>4.
Potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) in flexibility usage
potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) can be used by direct adding, spraying, retting, dry spraying, using in packing

material and other method.

Packing&Storage of POTASSIUM SORBATE (2,4-DI-ETHENE ACID KALIUM)
Packing of potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium)
(1)25kg or 501b(net weight)carton lined with plastics bag;
(2)30kg(net weight) fibber drum lined with plastics bag.
(3)25kg(net weight) woven bag or kraft paper bag lined with plastics bag.

Storage of potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium)
Keep in cool, dry and ventilating place. Shipper as non-dangerous goods.
Potassium sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium) is stable in sealed status, will not be decomposed until 270Deg.C. Potassium

sorbate (2,4-di-ethene acid kalium)will be oxidized into colored ones and absorbing moisture in case exposed in air for a

long time.
