Application
Sorbic Acid is a safe and reliable preservative that offers strong protection against molds, yeasts, and many bacteria, including mycotoxin-forming strains. As a fatty acid naturally similar to those found in foods, it is particularly suited for products with low water content such as baked goods and fatty media due to its limited water solubility. Sorbic Acid is also available in pharmaceutical grade upon request, making it a versatile option for both food and specialized applications.
