Preservative Function & Formulation Considerations

 

 

Yeast & Mold Control

Sorbic Acid is primarily used to control yeast and mold growth in permitted food formulations.

PH Consideration

Its preservative activity is influenced by the pH of the finished food. The permitted use level should be established according to the specific food category and target market.

Solubility & Incorporation

Sorbic Acid is slightly soluble in water and soluble in ethanol. Liquid formulations may require an appropriate dissolution or dispersion step before incorporation.

 

Application & Formulation Matching

 

 

Bakery Products

Bread, cakes, pastries and related bakery products where mold control is required during storage.

Fruit Preparations

Fruit pulp, purees, toppings and processed fruit products where sorbate preservation is permitted.

Sauces & Vegetable Preparations

Sauces, vegetable purees, spreads and other prepared foods covered by applicable sorbate provisions.

Confectionery

Selected confectionery products where preservation against yeast and mold is required during storage.

Beverage Systems

Specific beverage and alcoholic beverage categories where sorbates are permitted under applicable food-additive regulations.
