Potassium Sorbate(Fccv) is granular or powder and one kind of non-saturated fatty acid compounds.
Potassium Sorbate(Fccv) is granular or powder and one kind of non-saturated fatty acid compounds. It can be absorbed by human body rapidly, then decomposed into CO2 and H2O, moreover no remaining in body. Potassium Sorbate is stable in sealed status, will not be decomposed until 270 degrees centigrade. It will be oxidized into colored ones and absorbing moisture in case exposed in air for a long time.
Potassium Sorbate can restrain effectively the activity of mould, yeast and aerophile bacteria. Restrain growth and reproduction of the pernicious micro-organism as pseudomonas staphylococcus salmonella action to restrain growth is more powerful than killing. Meanwhile it can not restrain useful microorganism growth as anaerobic spore-bearing bacilli, cidophil therefore to lengthen food store period and remain food original flavor, the preservative efficiency of potassium sorbate is 5-10 times sodium benzoate.
