Application

Sorbic acid (C₆H₈O₂) is an effective preservative widely used in the food and beverage industry to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi. It plays a crucial role in extending the shelf life of products such as cheeses, wines, and baked goods by preventing spoilage and maintaining product quality. With its ability to perform across a broad pH range, sorbic acid is a versatile and reliable choice for ensuring freshness and safety in a variety of applications. Its low toxicity further makes it suitable for both food and non-food products.
