Technical Document

Sorbic Acid Sorbic acid is an organic compound manufactured by condensing crotonaldehyde with ketene to form polyester followed by acid hydrolysis, used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative (E200) that inhibits mold, yeast, and aerobic bacteria by disrupting cell membrane function in its undissociated form. In the food industry, it provides effective preservation across pH 2.5-6.5, clean flavor, and heat stability ideal for dairy, bakery, beverages, and dried fruits.
