Potassium sorbate, with the chemical name 2,4-hexadienoic acid potassium, is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. It is a white to light yellow flaky crystal or crystalline powder, odorless or slightly odorous, and soluble in water. It belongs to an acidic preservative. It exerts a preservative effect by inhibiting the dehydrogenase system within microbial cells, thereby hindering their metabolism. The preservative effect of potassium sorbate is most significant in acidic media (with a pH lower than 5-6). Its preservative ability is similar to that of sodium benzoate but has higher safety, and it has been internationally recognized as a highly effective and safe preservative. It is the dominant product in the global food preservative market and is widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics industries.
