Potassium Sorbate — Food Preservative

Product Overview

Potassium Sorbate — Food Grade

Olymph Global LLP is an India-based manufacturer and exporter of food ingredients and specialty chemicals, serving domestic and international markets.

Potassium Sorbate is a widely used food preservative that helps inhibit the growth of moulds and yeasts in various food and beverage products. It is the potassium salt of sorbic acid and is commonly used in food formulations to support product stability and help maintain quality during storage.

With the chemical formula C₆H₇KO₂, Potassium Sorbate is typically available as a white to off-white crystalline powder or granules. It is valued for its preservative functionality, good water solubility, and suitability for a range of food-processing applications.

Potassium Sorbate is commonly used in products such as bakery fillings, cheese, beverages, sauces, dressings, fruit preparations, and other suitable food products where preservation against spoilage microorganisms is required.

Its effectiveness depends on factors such as the food's pH, formulation, storage conditions, and the concentration used. It is generally more effective against yeasts and moulds than against bacteria.

At Olymph Global LLP, we focus on manufacturing and exporting food ingredients and specialty chemicals, supporting domestic and international customers with product information, applicable specifications, and export-oriented business coordination.
