Basic Information
Product Name: Potassium sorbate
Cas No.: 590-00-1
MF: C6H7KO2
Einecs No.: 611-771-3
HS Code: 2916190090
Characteristics
White to pale yellow scaly crystal, crystalline powder or granular. Odorless or slightly odorous. Long-term storage in the air is easy to absorb moisture and oxidize and decompose to color. Relative density (d2025) 1.363. The temperature of 270 ° C (decomposition). Soluble in water (67.6g / 100ml, 20 ° C) 5% saline (47.5g / 100ml, room temperature), 25% sugar water (5lg / 100ml, room temperature). Soluble in propylene glycol (5.8g/100m1), ethanol (0.3g/100m1). The Ph value of the 1% aqueous solution is 7-8.
It has a strong inhibitory effect on spoilage bacteria and fungi, and is far less toxic than other preservatives, so it has become the world's most important preservative.
Under acidic conditions, the antiseptic effect can be fully exerted, and the effect is very low in neutral.
