CAS 24634-61-5

Potassium sorbate

Description:

Potassium sorbate, with the CAS number 24634-61-5, is a widely used food preservative known for its effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of molds, yeasts, and some bacteria. It is the potassium salt of sorbic acid and is typically presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder or granules. This compound is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications in food and beverage products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Potassium sorbate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used within specified limits. Its antimicrobial properties stem from its ability to disrupt cellular processes in microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Additionally, it has a mild taste and does not significantly alter the flavor profile of food items. While it is considered safe for most individuals, some may experience sensitivities or allergic reactions. Overall, potassium sorbate is valued for its preservative qualities and versatility in various industries.

Potassium sorbate is a salt of sorbic acid and potassium. It is used as a food preservative and stabilizer, with an optimum concentration of 0.1%. It has been shown to be genotoxic in certain studies with Candida glabrata, but not in others. Potassium sorbate has also been shown to inhibit the growth of mold and yeast, while being non-toxic to humans. The analytical method for determining the concentration of potassium sorbate in a sample is based on the reaction between potassium sorbate and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA). This reaction produces benzoic acid (BA) and water vapor, which are measured by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). Potassium sorbate has been shown to have anti-atherosclerotic effects through its ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis.
